Mine came in Friday afternoon, but they weere shipped from 10 miles away, so I started the install yesterday. I have the new springs on both shocks now and ready to go back in today. Word to the wise; These springs are some strong ****'s to put on. I ended up using 4 strut spring compressors (the threaded type) to pull them in enough to get the top cap back on. I got the OEM springs off with only 2 compressors, but the progressive wind on these makes the bottom 2 winds too tight to put the compressor ends between the coils, so you end up compressing fewer coils, which means it takes more clamping force to compress them enough. Fortunately Auto Zone had 2 sets there for rent, it be done.
Im looking forward to wrapping this up and a much nicer ride off road on the small stuff. Question; since these are like going from bottom to mid perch, does this significantly affect alignment? I didnt change from the bottom perch setting.
