New shocks!

Installed some new Bilstein 4600's over the weekend. G*d, I wish I'd done this several years ago. What a difference! Even the DW noticed. :B

    Actually, it =does= hurt...ME! Man, I'm sore! :B I haven't done shocks myself, in probably 30 years and I can tell you that I would cheerfully coldcock the idiots who decided that nuts and bolts need to be standard on one end and metric on the other. :M

    Ha!!! Did I not just read how spry you are at almost 61, in another thread. Me thinks you better be watching for sales on step stools.

    Spry is for going =up=, not crawling around underneath stuff. :B Actually, I'm surprised how sore my neck is from having to hold my head up off the creeper. Father's day is coming up and I'm hinting real hard for a new one that has the inclining bed. :B Elbows and knees sure don't have the padding they used to, either; they're =tender=!
