    Glad you guys picked a truck that has seen cold weather and has rusted parts, I know how sometimes the rust factor can complicate the job.

    I really wish you would have done the harder side. Master cylinder and brake lines in the way. I’ll figure it out. Passenger side is simple.

    Seems like each time I try to find a 2012 RAM shock replacement they take me to every other year. I'm sure that I can do the swap in my driveway for the rear shocks, but the front I believe I have to have it lifted???

    I'm going to get some new shocks from u all for Shure. My question is how come the shocks on front end on my ram come shooting out.
    And the one you're doing didn't even hardly do anything?

  • @kalebcrafts4338
    @kalebcrafts4338 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    It is a lot easier to take the wheel off and get a pry bar in there to pry the shock up.

    I have a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 and the Front shocks are not even close to the way this one is Installed ............ Mine looks like it is mounted as part of the upper control arm ??

      It won't be nearly has hard as this. I have Rancho shocks coming for my 2004 ram this week. It will be easier if you jack up the truck and take the wheel off
