[QUOTE="Antlers, post: 895605, member: 18608"] After a recent theft of my rear shocks, I decided to look for a product that could protect them from repeat theft. After a bit of research I came upon [URL="http://shocksecurity.com/"]Shock Security[/URL]. It looked like a good, simple solution so, after a brief discussion with them, ordered a set. They did inform me that the upper shock mount bolts would need to be replaced with standard non-flanged bolts in order to fit into the lock washers. I found that M12x1.75 was the stock thread pitch and that they needed to be 70mm long with a 19mm head. These are what I ended up ordering: [URL="http://www.mcmaster.com/mv1438735505/#95327a695/=ydba3i"]Bolts[/URL] [URL="http://www.mcmaster.com/#94645a230/=ydbaop"]Nuts[/URL] [ATTACH=full]247792[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]247793[/ATTACH] With everything sorted it was time to install. Tools required: - 2 1/2" drive ratchets or equivalent. (1" wrench or Crescent wrench would work too) -Torque wrench -19mm socket -19mm wrench -Shock Security Keys (2 included) -Prybar -Red Loctite (optional) [ATTACH=full]247794[/ATTACH] I began by jacking up the truck enough for the suspension to droop and removed the top bolt.
