So im putting new springs in and Iknow how to do thebacksbut what is that best and easiest way to install the fronts?...I looked at the how to spring install thread but they also changed the struts and everything, I just wantto change the springs,what I want to know is how some of you guys installed your front springs..

unbolted the strut,swaybar, tie rod and removed the spindle. Placed a jack under the a arm and slowly let the spring down. Put new spring in aligning it with the pocket on the bottom jacked it up and put it all back together. Really simple job

i like to unbolt the a arm from the k member...

that sounds like a major PITA way to do it, but i never tried it.

shti, 1st we tried the 1st way, it didnt work out too well, did it the way i said, and went in like butter... i like it because the perch's still line up, so the spring is easy to get right in place

interesting, i might give that a try... i thought it would be a PITA because when i took off the a-arm the bolts were stuck in there like they were welded in, took hours just to bang them out, but i guess that's probably because they were there since 1990.

hmmm... i didnt have that issue... and mines an 88, lol

Do you also have to take the spindle out and all that **** to do it this way?

dimebag

no, no you dont

so thats all you have to do is take those 2 bolts out and it should swing down and you get the spring out
