    Default Installing ELKA shocks

    How hard is it to install ELKA shocks on a 2017 F3 limited? Can you install the front only and worry about the rear?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    I put Wilbers on my 16 F3-L, Jim, and don’t remember the front being too hard. Getting the bolts in for the rear caused some cussing though.

    I did the rear first as I needed the heavier shock to stop bottoming out as my top priority, but there is no issue with doing the fronts and leaving the rear till later.

    I put a set of front shocks on mine this year, and still have the factory set up in the rear!!! It's working well so far, but as soon as the air bag go's for any reason it will be aftermarket shock time and get rid of the headaches!!
