Easy to do. Put it up on jack stands on the rear frame and let the rear axle hang down from the shocks. Remove the sway bar. Next, look to see how the old coil spring is rotated on the lower control arm(look at the bottom of the spring, the open end), very important. Then losen and remove your rear lower control arm nut, put you jack under the rear lower control arm mount(where you just removed the nut) then pull the bolt and lower the control arm SLOWLY with your jack...the spring should fall out. Put your new spring in place(same rotation as old one was), jack control arm back up into place, insert bolt...ect. The do the other side the same. Pretty cut and dry.

For the fronts...make sure when you get a spring compressor that it is the old one for inside the springs...not the one for the McPherson struts...

I recommend getting that compressor on the new ones perfect before you try to get them in there...

Backs will take you 30 minutes...easy!
