Bolts right up. All work was done via wheel wells and behind rear tire for driver's side, and in front of rear tire on passenger side. Approximately 1 hour job assuming you aren't dealing with a rusty mess.Tools needed:5mm Allen Wrench ( to hold shaft of new shock at top while tightening top nut.)14mm wratcheting wrench (for top nut, you'll thank me later)Vice Grips(to hold old shock by shaft while unbolting top nut)17mm socket for bottom nut/bolt. Retorqued new nut/bolt to 64 Ft./Lbs for my paricular model.(Bushing configuration, silver cup with smaller opening at bottom, then rubber, then silver cup with larger opening next. Place shock into place. From top of frame, rubber bushing first, then dull steel cup, then nut.)
