Its just as easy as it looks. Unbolt the upper control arms, and the shocks. Before you do that put a floor jack under the housing, After unbolting the uppers and shocks lower it. The springs wqill come loose, Just pull them out. Then unbolt the sway bar and lower control arms. Then lower it right down!
