Awesome, one of the best. I actually think I could do this. My 07 tundra has 192K and never had the shocks changed. I may keep her for awhile, runs like a top.

[@jeffbenenati4011]

Excellent video, Jim! This looks like something that I can do to my '07 Tundra, especially with the tips that you provided.

[@DIYJIM]

I was not to bad of a job hope my video helps

[@jeffbenenati4011]

Just wanted to follow up and say that I was able to put a set of these on my Tundra and it makes a huge difference. To be fair, the shocks that were on there were in bad need of replacement. Also, I was having trouble keeping the lower part of the shock lined up with the bracket in order to put the bottom bolt back in place. I used a smaller jack that I had and got it real close to be lined up, then used a small pry bar to finish the job. Also, be sure to only get the jack on the shock because at first I was getting it close and when I was almost there, the outside surface of the jack was catching the bracket and then all I was doing was lifting the truck off the jack stand.

[@DIYJIM]

@@jeffbenenati4011 glad you got them on seems like they went on a little harder than my shocks. Hope you have a good summer.

If you get a seized nut on the top , a diablo carbide tip saws-all blade cuts the top shaft off clean right under the nut... im a small guy - not a mechanic - and 60 yrs old and it was super easy. no fire needed.

[@joe7917]

Best video I've found for this job, thank you for posting this. One question, how important is it to torque the bottom bolt? I do not have a torque wrench and I just did it by hand.

[@DIYJIM]

I’m going to guess most people do not have a torque wrench. I’m sure you will be ok. I think I put a link to one I’m my description to one that does not cost to much if you want to check it out. Thanks for watching

Thanks Jim. I have a 2005 Tundra and I think your video will help. I'm the kind of guy who loves to do the simple mechanical replacement repairs. I've replaced the shocks in the past and your video, even thought it's says 2007-2013, seems pretty much the same sequence. Thanks a lot. In the past I never "primed" the shocks like you did. Is that really necessary? Thanks again.

[@DIYJIM]

Not really sure but all the research I did before making this video. I figured it was a good idea. Sorry can not give you a better answer. The shocks were easy to replace. I also like to do the easy repairs and upkeep to my vehicles. Thanks for watching

[@kevinh6833]

Thanks for the video and tips.If the undercarriage isn't rusted and everything is in good shape (I'm in North Texas so no salted roads) do you need to replace the rubber bushings? My replacement Bilsteins only came with new locking nuts.

[@DIYJIM]

If they are worn out replace.

You absolutely need the metal spacer on the bottom of the top set to secure it ......just installing the rubber without the metal spacer is a huge mistake....do not do this.
