just put the set on. piece o' cake.

these are definitely a little stiffer than the factory units on my 2002 SE 2WD. not objectionably stiff, and maybe they will break in or maybe I will get used to them, but something to keep in mind. if you are concerned about shocks being too stiff, the bilstiens might not be the ones for you.

BTW I got about 50K out of the factory units before they started to go bad. by 60K they were bad.

just put on some kumho tires too, they are nice.

Cool...bils along with Revo's made my Xterra MUCH better.
