You should be able to complete it in half a day or less. I replaced all 4 on my 96 and it only took me a few hours.

I agree with Casper421. Took more time getting the tahoe on stands then the actual shock replacements. remember to use some penetrating oil (like wd40) on the shock bolts either the day before you are going to do the work or right before you start the work to make it easier to get them off.

I just had all four shocks replaced recently on my 95' Tahoe and tonight on my way home I heard a noise pulling out of the parking spot. I stopped and looked under the truck just to see the rear passenger side shock has come loose from the top. I don't understand how. Ironically, a homeless guy was walking by and offered some help. He had some strip/thin rope and tied it up so I could get it home. How do I fix this? Any ideas? Ron
