    If I dont have a wedding rehersal and a wedding to go to this weekend I would of helped you. I just redid mine a couple of weeks ago so my mind is still fresh on the install process. I just removed one of my rear suspension last week in 30 minutes.

    Air compression is really helpful too.

    well, I am starting it in a few hours. So maybe you could give me some pointers or warnings before I learn the hard way.

    The front suspension is already out, but I hear the rear is yucky. Though I have heard the opposite. Any tips?

    Drink plenty of ice water today... Just make sure everything is properly seated. I had a problem last week that one suspension wasnt seated properly so I had to remove the entire assembly again. Other than that its a pretty straight forward install.

    FWIW, I think the rears are easier to remove than the front.

    the rear is all I have left. Im sure its easier to remove, but what about taking apart the strut assembly? I looks crazy with that sleeve on it

    Why so many " I could help you if it wasn't on the forth sunday, on a full moon, or if I wasn't on my period" posts? If you can help him, post if you can. If not, why even post?

    poo, if I was anywhere near you I'd give you my stock springs and have the swap done in under 2 hours. There's always next time. So why the stock swap?
