Got a Taco 2010, need to replace the shocks there gonna be here thursday.
Is it as simple as replacing the back shocks? Just torching off the existing bolt, then putting new shocks back in?

You are going to get hurt.....
Before u take the shock off mark it so when u go back to put it in everything lines up properly. Compress the spring, remove bolt, slip old one off and put new one in. Bolt everything up and decompress the spring.
Gl hf irl etc....

when my friend and I would do coils/springs we would just push down on the top hat as hard as we could while the other person would unscrew the bolt. Worked so far lol

3 top nuts, one nut on lower control arm. remove -> replace. just unhook the tie rod to remove/install the shock easily. if you don't have a tie rod puller, a BFH works just as good. try not to mushroom the head though, lol.
