arb removal was one of my first jobs last year

makes a massive massive difference to articulation!!!!

Spring compressors get out of here :lol
As above, just undo the stupid ARB . Then drop the panhard rod. Bin the socks and out drop da coils :thumbs:

Dunno if my original shocks had been replaced with LWB ones before i changed them, or if the SWB is different (the rear of the truck was actually quite high anyway) but they wouldn't come out on their own. I put moderate weight on the wheel hub, but I didn't fancy standing/jumping on it to force it lower than it wanted to go.

Also, i did one side at a time (i.e. shock still connected on the opposite side) rather than both sides together - maybe that would have made a difference?
