2005 131K mi first suspension change

[martyf250]

Hi Guys

Dealer and independent shop quoted around $1,000 for front and rear suspension change. I have the tools and impact wrenches etc. just no lift and can do it for 1/4 the cost. Napa sells a pre assembled strut. coil assembly

how complicated is the job if i do it myself? drop the tire, break a few rusted bolts and change out?

appreciate the insight

Yep thats about it. The front ones look pretty easy.

On the rear, the lower shock bolt is in a not so great spot, so cutting may be required which necessitates a new bolt as well.
