Anyone change out their stock shocks? Is it do-able in driveway, with hand tools? After 26k miles and while driving home..I think I am gonna be in need of VERY soon!

Tito, Who did your Front End Alignment?
Can you post the final settings?
Did you install "Comfort" or "HD" Bilsteins?
When I installed the rear Hellwig bar, I slid it under on top of the box it came in. Brought it much closer to the mounting pads on the axle. I mounted a bracket without its bushing and one loose screw, just to hold the bar up while I assembled the opposite side.
You can upgrade your front axle and brakes to the heavier 2008-and-later version with takeoff parts from QuadVan down in Portland.
AND the Hellwig Front Sway Bar from your earlier chassis will mount on the new axles.
