The boyfriend and I (mostly the boyfriend) put in 3 out of the 4 Rancho shocks last night and holy CRAP can I tell a difference in ride. At level 7 all around, it's like a luxury cruiser now...well all except for the driver's side rear shock.

Anyone have any trouble getting a wrench on the top of that one? We didn't have a good breaker bar (it was in my Jeep :-() but still, the other three came apart without a problem. It seemed like we couldn't get the closed-end wrench quite on the nut because the frame was a little too close. Anyone?
At our recent wrenching event, lizardmen installed Ranchos on the rear of his (didn't get to his fronts yet). IIRC, drivers rear was the one that was giving them a headache. Unfortunately I can't give you the guidance of what they finally got to work since I wasn't involved. etlsport or lizardmen can probably tell you what they did.
