Shock Replacement: Installation

  1. Prime new shock by fully extending shock right side up. Turn shock upside down and fully compress it. Repeat this procedure at least 3 times, ensuring any trapped air has been expelled. Install insulator on shock absorber stud and tighten nut to 53-65 ft. lbs. (72-88 N.m).
  2. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Tighten upper mount nut to 17-23 ft. lbs. (23-31 N.m). Tighten lower mount bolt to 83-113 ft. lbs. (113-153 N.m). Turn air suspension on.
