Getting a leaking shock replaced, is a dealer necessary?

[Russ103]

As the title states. My rear passenger side shock has been leaking, and I’m having a local shop replace it for me under (3rd party) warranty. They’ve started the claim, but the shock is on back order through Billstein.

My question is, does anything have to be calibrated or reset by a dealer after replacing a shock, since these shocks have several different modes, or is it a simple part swap?

I don’t know about the calibration but I did have a shock leaking on my truck, not my trx. It was replaced under warranty and they did both sides. So you may want to ask for both rears to be replaced at the same time.
