Shocks...

Can one side be done at a time? Meaning, I can get one side of the car high enough by jacking from the SFC connection point, high enough to get a jack stand under the inner frame rail and have the wheel off the ground and suspension completely unloaded on that side. But when I jack from the rear diff spot, it doesn't get high enough. Are my jack stands too tall? Or am I not thinking about this enough... I don't know if it's a dumb question, but it's possible...

Thanks for the help.

IMO, just back-it-up on some ramps and change the shocks; that's the easiest way to do it!

I thought the suspension had to be unloaded...? If not then that's the ticket!

Like an earlier poster said, you can change the rears by using a ramp only. My car isn't lowered and I was actually able to change both sides without taking off my wheels by using a long extension on the lower shock bolt.
