How do I tell if the shocks are gone

--- Quote from: "beattiedh" ---So how bad are the fronts to do.

Is it worth buying the bits and chucking a few quid to my local 4x4 man to do it.

Do it yourself, but plan for snapping the securing rings and have replacements to hand.  It's not a bad job, and if you've not done it before it's good practice.

Without making me sound like a muppet, everybody has to start somewhere.

What are the securing rings?

I have fitted Diff guards, snorkel and breather kits so I know my way around enough once i know the direction I am to go in.

thanks

chris.hunt22:
They are also known as turret rings, they go on top of your spring and clamp the shock absorber turret down using 4 nuts - MEGA TIP... if you are getting new ones don't loose the old nuts, they are a strange imperial thread and are a pig to get hold of

Range Rover Blues:
Get the HD ones from Paddock, they make them using Metric bolts which are made form steel rather than cheese (like the original ones) and come with new Nylocks.
