On my 2001 it was pretty straightforward if you can change them on a ford pick up you can change them on a MH

You might look at the air bags while you’re under there unless somebody has change them out they will be cracked and you won’t feel Good with them in that condition

Observe all safety precautions and do not get squashed

Do you have IFS or straight axle? I also have 2002 XC Chassis with the IFS.
I ordered Bilstien's but front ended up 7-9 month back order waiting on them to make them. So put Koni's on the front. I have part numbers? But check Freight liner for numbers first.

On my ‘04 Journey I had to cut the bolts on front shocks to remove them because of jack location. On rears I removed duals for easy access.
