    Replaced Front and rear shocks and rear leaf springs this weekend. Two hours on the front shocks and 3.5 to finish off the rears. A handier guy could do it much faster I'm sure but this was new territory for me. Ordered OESpectrum Monroe shocks from O'reilly's and the leaf springs came from General Spring KC. Wanted to cure the saggy butt without getting into a full lift kit. Picked up 3.5". Now measures 35" ground to fender. Assuming at or near original ride height.
