Obviously I have the select ride control and installed all 4 of them by myself. I still can't believe it. Installing the front two were a lot easier than the back two. The FSM makes it seem harder than it actually really is. She rides great now and no more headaches or driver fatigue on bad roads. My back two actuator gears are broken which I was expecting that due to the codes. I guess I'll call the captain and get them fixed. Whew, the Sun was hot today.

Can you get those gears inside the actuator anywhere? I can't find them.

Nice job! I did the rears last fall and I have to do the front this spring. I did not think the rears were bad to do so I am looking forward to a smooth swap on the fronts.
Were did you get your shocks from? I was going to get the fronts from eshocks because they were the lowest price.

The fronts took less than 1 hour to install even for a first timer.
