Springs are in!
Springs are in, I noticed a drop almost immediately. I followed FORDS directions for one frint spring - took like 4 hours - they wanted the steering rack and the back of the a-arm dropped - Did the other front in about 10 minutes - rear wasnt anything either - Oh and spring compressors suck - they spring we compressed actually shot out and almost hit my friend in the face - didnt compress the other springs
As for the UDPs - yea, the shop doesnt have a pulley puller, and IOT to stop the crank form moving I'd have to drop the trans to hold the flywheel - and remove the radiator to get the impact gun in there- so yea, ill let ford install em tomorrow when they do my alignment... I wonder would around $100 be right for install of UDPs? (I'd do it but I dont have tool available, or time for taht matter)..
Ill take pics when it isnt raining.

RE: Springs are in!
Put the car in 5th gear and use a persueder (breaker bar). Mine came off with a little tugging, but it worked. You should be able to get a pulley puller for $10 to $15. Mine was $12.99 at Auto Zone. Easy $hit, dude. Don't waste your money.
