Rear Shocks

[Seamus McBundy]

...how do you install them. I heard it wasnt that difficult. The shocks themselves are compressed. Do I need to install them, before I cut the plastic tie? And where do I place the jack?

Oh not sure if its needed but its on a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Thanks,

Here's what looks like a good source (Google is your friend...).

Link is goes directly to a posting with a question similar to yours, you might want to back out and ask specifically about your model.

This is an easy DIY job. Most vehicles its two bolts and the shock come out.

You definitely have to have an impact for the bolts. You can just place the jack underneath the rear end. Make sure to chalk up the front tires.

block the tires for sure, I have had success with a breaker bar in most instances and a few whacks with a hammer and some loosening agent. If you have an imact wrench makes it easy.
