No which is a big reason I'm leery of doing it myself.So you have an air compressor and air tools?
I've never known working on a truck not to suck to some degree lol. Actually I think if anything just went smooth I would probably be more concerned!Between the people here that can offer advise, and yt videos - you can fix pretty much anything on these trucks. It takes time and some of the work is gonna suck.
Without air tools or the right tools is what makes these a pain or the job seem harder then it is. With the air tools it helps and sometimes spoils you lol. From a 2wd experience I can say I did everything with hand tools and it was a pain in the a$$. Nowdays I got power tools and air tools I can use at work and now I'm like wtf. These chevys arnt too bad and they are a lot easier to fix them most foreign vehicles and allow you to rebuild them un like new domestic vehicles. If you have the drive and time then I say go for it it's not that bad. If you rather pay somebody else then that's where the expensive part comes in. Personally rockauto and Amazon sell good parts that are oem and will be cheaper then your local vendor. My advice get some power tools or bring a six pack to your friend that does and make it a weekend project.No which is a big reason I'm leery of doing it myself.

YT videos have been my auto training up to this point. Definitely handy to be able to punch up a video walk through.
Well if I did it myself I could justify the cost of a compressor and at least a few air ratchets. I could spend what the guy would charge me to fix it on tools instead and come out the other side set up to tackle whatever needed to be done.Without air tools or the right tools is what makes these a pain or the job seem harder then it is.

Damn I never saw this response sorry! I'm stuck with the Iroks for the time being because I'm not going to be happy with 35s and I'm not sure a new 37 would fit. I had bought a set of Cooper STT 37s but when I rolled them up to the truck I had enough doubts about them fitting without rubbing that I got returned the tires.Right on! Bet she drives smooth now. Still keeping the Irok tires or going with a different set up.
