I also wonder what the manufactures were thinking. Not to throw shade on you guys,I feel your pain. :(I owned a Ford Van for a lot of years until some lowlife stole it.:M
I put Bilsteins on it and remember the banging, cussing, skinned knuckles and utter desperation the job required.I would never do it again..My had is off to you all.
The engineers at Chevy had a better idea,they made a flap on the inner fender well that you just pull back and there is the top of the front shocks,I replaced all 4 of mine in a bit over an hour.
