On to the rear! Here again is where I deviated from the install guide. Since I was doing this by myself I wanted to take a longer but simpler/safer path. I removed the Shock, swaybar endlink and knuckle (?) bolts off to allow the shocks to come out with much less force.
The only downside to this method is you might have to use a spare jack to help lift the control arms while you are putting in the new lifted shock and getting all the bolt holes to line up. If you have a second person helping this part would have been quicker, but I was in no rush to do this, because I didn’t want to do it twice . and here’s a comparison of the 2017 Sach’s rear damper vs a lifted 2014 damper.
