Got only 4 shocks from ShockWarehouse.com, should have gotten 8.  Called them and they said they made mistake and shipping me another 4 shocks.

Replaced 4 front shocks yesterday.  Quite challenge to fasten the top bolt.

1/2" air gun and 1 1/8" socket got all 8 top bolts on mine, you just have to get in a position to reach them.

Yeah used electric impact wrench, but man that front shocks at rear axle are tough to work on.  Glad it is over.  Will drive my coach and see how it goes.

Those new shocks are night and day difference compare with old shocks.  My coach rides much better!
