Ya I hear ya, I should be down there sometime soon on vacation...

If you come down man, we'll do this. It's relatively painless. I did it on my truck without knowing what I was doing -- so now I can do it on yours knowing what I am doing!

I'll do it for a bottle of single barrel Jack Daniels but you'll have to drive to Colorado!!!

HaHa!! I am sure with the vid you mentioned, you would be able to do it yourself. Just be very careful when compressing the springs. If you can not rent the spring compressor, then you will have to figure in the cost of buying the tool.

Ya the guy said he knew he could do it. And on the phone he sounded pretty confident but 300-500. Il pass

sounds like a dealership that doesnt want to do it? my dealer quoted 3hrs, and was around 250$.

Or they just think it's harder than it really is... They were willing to listen plus it's $ for them.

The bulk of the labor is in the R&R of the shocks. If you have the ability to remove them take them to a shop and have them compress the springs and raise the perch. Most any place that does alignments or installs struts will be able to the spring compress and adjustment. Removing and installing the shocks is pretty easy. Very good way to learn more about your truck.

we slapped 3 compressors on each spring and nailed them home with an impact gun, that's the easiest(scariest) part
