The struts are out and I'm working with a pair of air shocks to replace them. Both (Along with the rest of the underside) are a little dirty due to line leaks around the drivers side accumulator and engine oil blowing back. The struts don't leak and were (supposidly) replaced a few months before I bought the TD two years ago. (Another shameless plug: The pump, tank, and struts are sill for sale. Just make an offer.)
Once the drivers side strut came out after 30 minutes and I knew what it took, the passenger side was out in 5 minutes.
Next: Air ride
...and a cutting torch (I wish right now
)
*edit* Slow going, the air shocks were too big to fit through the stock strut openings so I need to pull the springs.
Looks like it won't be anywhere as easy as I had thought. But it seems like the TD has a chip on it's shoulder for me this weekend. The Prechambers were a PITA to get out, my battery was almost dead, the copression gauge didn't have an injector hole adaptor, and my right fog light is blown out.
