Trying to do this same thing, but I am unclear how you got your crescent wrench in there to hold the shock from spinning, as it's kind of hidden on film, but also there is virtually no space or gaps to stick anything in on mine. Any recollection on where exactly you gripped on the shock with that thing?
Haha! I have a few videos where people are going crazy about how I do something a different way than they do and then that leads to the whole world ending somehow lol.
@@caleblandry2580 Hey now, that ain't a bad thing! I already have the next 8 videos or so filmed...but going forward maybe i'll try to stick to one lol
@@caleblandry2580 I just registered "A Guy And His Projects" with the state a few weeks ago. I'm working on it little by little. Time is hard to find haha! Maybe someday if the channel takes off and I can work on it full time that would be awesome!
I have the same truck in gray also. Laramie. I'm replacing the upper control arms, lower control arms, tie rod ends, sway bar links, and the wheel hubs one day this week. I'm on my third 3rd gen, all this color 02 1500, 03 2500, and now an 04 1500 Laramie. Do you do torsion key level kit? And what tires and rims are you running?
Good Job! I have the same truck as you 2004 4x4 but with the 4.7 engine. I am between the Bilstein, the KYB Excel G or KYB Gas-A-Just. Not sure if the Bilstein are worth the extra money.
Just put these on my 05 4x4 1500 today. One thing I want to ask. Usually you are supposed to tighten the shock bushing until it’s as big as the washer but since the washer is huge and flat how much do you tighten it? Or just get it snug is fine? I figured since you’ve had these on for longer you would know. Thanks
I've never had a method of tightening them before lol, that's the first time i've heard that. If there is no torque spec I just go until it feels good, not really a way to describe it I don't think. I would always recommend giving them a check a couple hundred miles down the road though. Wish I had a better answer for you
Ok so I got a 03 dodge ram and my friend has been telling me to get the blistein 5100 series for a softer ride quality would you say the 4600’s would do the same?
4600's and 5100's are similar from what I understand. 5100's are made for lifts and 4600's are made for stock height. That is what I have gathere anyway
Couldn't help but notice you didn't show too pump the shock up and down and mix the gases as you're supposed too with new gas shocks before you install them.or youll have a bad ride until it compressed it's self few times did they not mention it on the directions
Who knows, I've pumped them and I've not pumped them. Haven't experienced any ill side effects as of yet. You are more than welcome to pump them though!
I looked into it awhile ago and couldn't find anywhere or any manufacturer that requires you to cycle them. It is a preference thing. Once installed any gases that have been misplaced will work their way back.

Love the video. You went straight into it without alot of gibberish. Hope to see more.
Thanks for the comment, stay tuned!
Hi bro good video but what kind of rims and tires are those ! Thanks for the information
Thanks! Rims where Rhino something or another. I think the tires were Hercules something or another lol

Oh dang, it's been a minute and several vehicles since that one. I honestly don't remember
Great work. Your “disclaimer” is getting better everytime. Lol.

@@AGuyandHisProjects I think when you prefect “it” it’ll be like a catch phrase. Lmao

@@AGuyandHisProjects I was thinking it’d probably look good on a shirt 🤷🏻♂️. 🤙

Thanks for watching! Should be a fun day lol. Rims are black rhino, I don't remember the model

The top will bulge a little and bottom will just be touching under. 1A auto has a video on everything 3rd gen with torque specs
