Yeah, I have done all of the other car work with my husband and a few choice friends. My husband is overseas and our friends are busy so I am on my own. I was just wondering if anyone had any known coplications or tricks to avoid them.

I don't forsee any probs, unbolt the struts and the stock plates, pull em out, install the new ones. I take that back, you might have a problem if you can't get the alignment back, but you're gonna have get it aligned anyways.



BTW, if your husbands in the military, thank him for the work he's doing

Thanks for the input. BTW he is in the Marines, I apreciate your thoughts.



I have to get it aligned, but due to the lowering springs it has been adjusted as far as it can with the stock plates.

You can unbolt the stock plates and elongate the holes with a die grinder so you dont have to waste the money on those plates.



Tell your husband that were all pulling for him and everyone else over there! Hope he comes home soon.
