You obviously have never put on Bilstein gas shocks. It CAN be done by hand, but why struggle when you can use jack stands and lower the axle?

I was just referring to the jack stands. I have the tools. Haha keeping them in the back of my Jeep? You could kiss them goodbye with all of the thugs/bums here in Los Angeles ready to jack them no doubt. They would break into my Jeep for a few loose pennies.
