These are the coil over shocks.

first thing, the rear sway control bar had to be moved to get them in. I also jacked the truck up enough to extend the suspension to get the new shocks in. there is no compressing these by hand. No other real surprises putting them on.

the guardian pro's were pulled and sat on the counter for the driver to leave without them.
The manager looked to see who might have a pair in stock. No one but the hub. He offered to get me a in tommorow, but Im leaving town tomorrow so if I waited, it would have been a week. He then looked up the next guardian ultra. Those were everywhere except the store I was in.
