    Shocks - Which ones? Mixed?

    I wish the TM's were better on this subject. I know the 72's are the HD, so definitely in the back, but the parts TM lists "rear" for the 70's and "front" for the 71's. No specs in there besides that. I know I've seen posts for weights, but don't know where they got them. 70's sound like...

    Shocks - Which ones? Mixed?

    Bought a 1-1/4 wrench from Home Creepo, which only had a ratcheting one, so was double the price. The shipper sent me the 0071's, so I now will have 0070's on the back and 0071's on the front. The TM seems to coincide with that. Had a friend help and we got everything off. The rears SUCKED...

    Got ONE front done today. Blech. The torque on these guys are brutal. 300 lbs on the lower pin is almost impossible as the bracket is out of anything holding it. The passenger side got struck trying to get the top pin out, and the crescent wrench kept slipping off. Going to give it one more...

    Shocks - Which ones? Mixed?

    Well, I bought (2) 12340070 and was buying (2) 12340071, but the shipper sent me (2) 12340072 instead. I've seen people recommend (4) 0070 and then others recommend (4) 0072. Now my question is, do I have a crappy combination? There are not great specs on the 0072, and they look identical to...
