Default spring install

I'm getting new springs (2 in. dropzone) and was wondering if there are any write-ups out there for doing the springs yourself. How is it? Any tips before trying? It's a '96 GT if that matters.


If there is a write-up, please post where I can find it.


Thanks guys!

Thanks for the link! I'm getting the 2" dropzone springs. I'm not gettin' new shocks/struts or cc plates. I hope if alignment is off, I can just take it to a shop to get it re-aligned.




Thanks again.
