Definitely something you want to do if you have the trans and driveline out. On a KW I've found it easier to pull the whole cab ride assembly to change it. Usually the shock bolts freeze, can be a nitemare. Pete's are cake. All external. Those are what I usually work on if it helps anyone That just pisses me off how they get away with robbery. My set up has those ride cab assembly with the 2 shocks and 2 air springs in there. I think it rides good. There has to be a simple way to jack and remove the whole assembly. I'm going to replace those 2 shocks in there soon. So I'll be trying to figure out a shortcut for them too. I think some of the Petes and KW trucks were originally designed for owner operators. It seems that way to me, because they have the air dryers, tanks, cab air springs, batteries and numerous other truck items positioned around the truck with easy access for a DIY owner operator. It's ridiculous in today's world what a owner op has to go through to learn to work on his own truck. Nevertheless, it's an absolute. You should learn everything you can about your truck/equipment. When I went to boot camp, I had to learn every piece of the M16, take it apart and put it back together in the dark on a timed test. If you don't know your weapon you don't stand a chance on the battlefield. I think truck owners should do the same, even if you can't in frame your truck atleast tinker and learn and repair some of things needed on your equipment. | |||
