Rouse Rear Spring Install

RE: Rouse Rear Spring Install
Thank everyone for the info. I should have clarified, these are 2-3month old used springs. Bought them off someone from Corral.net for a decent price. That's why there were no instrucs. I'm fairly confident in changing them myself. I've done mid-pipes, headers, diffs, and spindles, I'm sure i can tackle this.
I have a new long tubes, mid pipe, shifter, and a driveshaft to finish soon, just figured this should be done at the same time.
Thanks againg guys.

The rear springs are super easy to install. The only thing you should unbolt is the lower mounts for the rear shocks.

bolts as well so they dont get stretched when
the axle is dropped down.

Oh.. one other thing.. With the Roush springs I didn't notice any sizeable shift in the centering of the axle. I haven't read of anyone using these springs needing to change to an adjustable panhard rod. This also adds to the simplicity of this particular install.

My rear is well centered, thank you.

Well got the shifter install done, only took 5hrs for 6 bolts. Turned out one the factory rear mounting studs was gone! Just sheared off. So had to drill that out and put in a new mounting bolt. I wasted a lot of time so the springs will have to be next weekend.

About the Roush springs.....
I love mine. I have front and rear as well as the shocks and struts. None of my Roush parts came with instructions, and mine were brand new.
Here's my thread about my springs (with pics!) https://mustangforums.com/m_4485596/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm

Yeah it was a royal PITA. Had to use a micrometer to measure it out before starting to drill holes. This was all to put a Pro50 shifter in, man that thing has no tolerances. I honetly thought the whole thing was bound up when I went to test it.
So needless to say, I just didn't have the energy to do springs. But next weekend should be a good time to do. Thanks for the link too. I'm gonna be putting 275/55/17 on the back so that should fill it out nicely.
