Front end installation:
1. To begin installation, block the rear tires of the vehicle so
that the vehicle is stable and can’t roll backwards. Safely lift
the front of the vehicle and support the vehicle with a pair of
jack stands. Place a jack stand on both the driver and the
passenger side. Next, remove the front wheels and tires
from both sides.
2. Place a pair of hydraulic floor jacks under the front axle.
Place one on the driver side and passenger side. Carefully
raise up on both hydraulic floor jacks at the same time until
they come into contact with the front axle.
3. Working on the driver side, remove the shock from the
vehicle and discard the shock and the upper shock hardware

you have not all ready ordered your new front shocks,
