[QUOTE="Brad12, post: 1793415, member: 27360"] Sent the shocks off to Icon to be rebuilt and took the opportunity to clean up the frame a little bit (what looks like dirt was actually paint!), install properly shanked bolts in the rear lower/upper shock mounts, and install new rotors and pads in the front. The rear diff was also seeping, so I replaced the fluid and re-sealed it. Getting the rear lower shocks mounted was a bit difficult due to the amount of droop in the Icon kit and not releasing the nitrogen, but I eventually got it by jacking up the rear of the truck by the bumper and using another jack to compress the shock... it was a little bit sketchy :cool: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Photo%20May%2007%2C%206%2001%2032%20PM.jpg"]359373[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]359380[/ATTACH] Old bolt on top.
