Bilsteins'
My stock z71 shocks arent cutting it anymore and make a honk noise whenever they are compressed or decompressed so ive done some research and im going all out and getting all 4 new Bilsteins'. My question is, will it be easy to replace my front shocks with the control arms on there, I havent really examined it so im just seeing if anyone knows for sure. Thanks!

Ok cool, I figured you could just compress em up over the lower control arm and let em drop out. Thanks man!

Yep i took the tire out and then lifted it with a jack to work the front one in. The back i just jacked the center up and took the old one off and then put the top in and cut the strap and let it easy down into place. Easier then i thought it would be. I went with the reflex monroe shocks.

i did all 4 of mine about a month ago.... simple. i didnt even need to jack up the fronts. i went with monroe reflexs tho. i love how stiff they are and how they handle on turns.

You say you are going all out after some research, and going with Bilsteins... But the stock OEM Z71 shocksare Bilsteins...
Just wondering, I'm about ready to replace my OEM Bilsteins so I'm looking for some opinions.
