spring struts
simply just replace rear shocks with air shocks or put spring lifters on the springs
No , unless the spring is damaged
Not necessarily. From what i understand, though, if you decide not to get shocks to accompany the longer springs, your ride quality will be a sloppy mess. If you have the extra cash, it would be best to get shocks that have more travel.
To replace shocks on a Honda CR-V make sure the car is safely risen and supported. Remove the wheels and suspension components. Loosen the fork bolts and strut support bolts. Remove the assembly. Then use a coil compressor to remove the spring from the shock. Replace the shocks.
to replace the shocks in a nut shell, take off the rear tire, buy a spring compresser and compress the springs, there is bolts that hold the shock in, take those out, one at the top and one at the bottom, after that pull the shock out with the spring, and put it back together just how you took it out.
Rear shocks are easy however the front shocks require spring compression devices that must be used properly or you could get seriously injured or killed. The Heavy duty Bilstein shocks are very popular with the people at our enthusiasts forum. www.trailvoy.com
You have to replace with springs and shocks
You best and easiest way of doing this is to replace your OEM shocks with air shocks, unless it has struts in the rear.
How do you replace rear shocks on a 2003 altima?
Yes you can.
The 4Runner doesn't have struts; it has coil-over shocks in front. After removing the old shocks a spring compressor is required to remove the springs and install them on the new shocks. Take it to a front end shop that has the proper compressor and tools; it's very dangerous if you don't have good equipment and experience. The rear shocks are easy to replace by yourself.
