Default Spring Install

Well today the rear spring for the bullitt kit i received came in. I was just wondering if anyone here put spring on themselves and if so how difficult was it? I will also be changing the shocks and struts to the bullitt ones as well. Are those difficult to do?

Both are pretty easy to install, only thing that I really hated was have to take my mach 1000 system out the truck first. Other that that it was pretty straight forward.

Why would you need to take your radio out?

Anyways not to bad at all... I'm sure you can find a right up somewhere online. Just take your time, one side at a time and you'll be fine.

To undo to the bolts on top of the shocks, I had to take the speakers and amps out just to pull out the carpet so it can get to those bolts.

Put car on jack stands. Unbolt lower shock mount and put jack underneath lower control arm. apply some pressure then undue the rear lower control arm bolt. Release pressure and lower spring out. put new spring on control arm(reuse isolators or replace if necessary) and jack pack into place. Reinsert lower control arm bolt then tighten to 90ish ft lb and then attach lower shock bolt and tighten to 90ish ft lbs. repeat on other side
