This is a quick video with an easy tip for changing the FRONT shocks on your Ford E150/E250/E350/E450 Super Duty van. Specifically, the drivers side, since it's very hard to access the top bolt.
There's a tool at Harbor Freight that you can buy for $10.99, Item number 65498
You'll also need a LONG 21mm crescent wrench. With these two tools you can easily and quickly remove the top bolt from both front shocks without messing with the floorboard hole or doing a contortion act to get to the nut at the top of the shock.
Very easy, very quick ... I was able to change both shocks out in under 45 minutes.
