Thanks Blue. That was a long process, I might just have to just buy one and call it a day. I don't have the time or the equipment for all of that work. Any other recommendations?

Shop online and get Progressive 440's. Eastern Performance may be the best price. I had the stock 13.5 shocks and switched to the stock 12.5 (SE/RK Custom). They were used and probably defective as I hit a few bumps and thought I lost my fillings in my teeth. Switched to the Heavy Duty 440's and gave them 2 turns (no tool required) by hand and they are fine for me. Much better than the stock ones in my opinion. They make the 412's which require a tool, a little less $, but still a good choice.
