Shock Replace 2.0

The truck has felt a little more bouncy than usual recently and a recent review of my blog showed the last time I replaced the shocks was over 15 years ago. Since then, I've driven about 75,000 mi.Since then. 

Taking off the old shocks was pretty easy.
 I decided to buy new versions of the exact same shock (Bilstein 5100).
Putting new ones on wasn't that bad. It took about 2 hours to do it. 
My mechanic was going to charge me 400 bucks. Forget that....

We also had and nice sunset today. Here's a video of me checking it out with Oliver and Benton from across the street.
