Ken, do you have the big helper spring in the back too?
Not sure if I do or not. Went somewhere to check on prices for something and they asked me the same question. The guy out and looked at the truck and told me ????? (I can't remember...lol). I think I do, It has one spring that does not lay like the others.

awesome...do yourself a favor and go under there and spray the bolts on the shock with penetrating spray....it will make it easier for whomever pulls them off to get the bolts loose...

WD-40 is better than nothing...spray it down every night a couple days before you plan on removing them.

Hear, hear! Check Rock Auto for the shocks. I got my Monroe Reflex from them for only 'bout $38 each. Tenneco may still have the rebate on Monroe and Bilstein.

Smitty you have an overload spring [the one that looks upside down] all 2500/3500s have them. I will be removing mine IF we lower the rattlebucket haven't decided on that yet and i will have to install air bag helpers for towing duties.
