i totally forgot what there called but i have some HEAVY duty TRUCK shocks that i got off of ebay for 40$ and i was able to set them up in 2 hours....... i like them and there very heavy duty because i had 1500LBS of sand in there and it squated (go figure) but if i were to do that with stock shocks it would look like a low rider... and thats just no good

Here, I'll do it for you Aaron -

1) Jack up car
2) undo two bolts at shock bottom
3) undo nut at top of shock
4)undo air line
5) remove shock
6) installation of new shock is reverse of removal.
7) repeat for other side.

Stock replacements are too easy wink

Wow, I didn't know you did the F250 mod, did you use you original strut mounts or did you have to change them. I want to do that mod too.

I Got my monroe MA822's from amazon for $57.31 for the pair including shipping which I thought was an excellent price. I am going to install them this weekend. I was only wondering about the air line hookups and how well they connect to the factory airlines or what adaptations were necessary.
will post back after the installation

Johnny, everything should hook up with no problems. air shocks are pretty much a standard design. $57 is a very good buy! Let us know how you like them. happy

Why would you want to do that? When I had air shocks I never had to touch a thing. With this mod they'd have to be filled manually? Why bother?

You've probably seen it by now, but here's a link to the F-250 shock write-up-

Link

You probably won't know until you get the Ranchos in whether you will need to mod your mounts or not. I think they've changed the length of the threaded end on top at least once. Modifying the mounts was unavoidable for me.

98riviera98 - can you take a pic of your shock mount inside the trunk?

Be careful on high mileage cars, removing the air lines from the old shocks. My O-rings remained inside the nipple while trying to remove. This means a leaky line in the new shock.

Rather than purchase O-rings or a new line, I repaired mine with duct tape! This may or may not work for you, but it did in my case. The flared end of the line is supposed to have two rubber O-rings that are compressed when the clip is on. I wrapped a 1/8" wide, 3" long strip of duct tape (electrical should also work) around the line where the O-rings were to form a "duct tape donut". With the clip on, the line sealed up... no leaks. Not a long-term fix, but it will get me to work for a week or two until I can pick up some O-rings.

Thanks to Jack the R for the write-up. As simple as his instructions were, they were enough. I did not even need to reference the shop manual. Job took 2 hours, but could have been done in one.

I would loosen the top nut (in the trunk) before loosening the bottom bolts, though. This prevents the shock from twisting in the mount. I would also remove air lines first, so they do not bend or break from twisting or dropping the shock during disassembly. So for me, the order was:

1) Lift rear of car.
2) Disconnect air lines.
3) Remove top nut.
4) Remove two bottom bolts.
5) Remove shock.
6) Replace hardware.
7) Install new shock.
8) Tighten bottom bolts.
9) Tighten top nut.
10) Reconnect air lines.
11) Lower car.

Car rides nice with the Monroes. Not a giant difference, but less boating on the hills and in the dips. And the bumps feel better, of course. At 140k miles, it just feels better not having the originals on there. I should credit the OEMs though... never failed, still working well for being 9 years old.

Not a difficult project, though a short 10mm socket would have helped with removing the outside bolt on the bottom. I only have deep metric sockets, which won't fit to get the outside bolt. I had to use a wimpy little 1/4" socket/ratchet to get in there, which I wasn't sure would hold up to the torque. Both original shocks are in terrible shape, and had started to leak recently. When I pulled the driver side down out of the mount, a shower of rusty crap came out of the upper hole. Also wouldn't have minded having new bolts for the lower mount.

Anyways... here's the old stuff, good reason to get rid of your 9 yr old rear shocks:

Wow Dave, bet she's glad to have the new pair of legs!

Man, you got that right! Just went for a drive and the handling difference is remarkable. Wish I'd done this back in April or May. Feels much firmer in the turns, and vastly improved going over the "moguls"... it's amazing what functioning shocks will do for a car.

I rotated the tires too, and almost swapped the rears to the opposite fronts... stop (directional tires)
