i put the rubbers back on because my friend didnt on his and you can hear squeaking from the metal on metal. I would leave them unless u must have it a hair lower.

I dont know what to say, just take the tire off then unbolt the shock and lay it down then yank the springs out and pop the new ones in.

i have heard of springs going in super easy, and have experience the exact opposite

i installed my pro-kit in just under 8ish hours with the help of two buds


we had to drop the entire rear dif. just to get the back ones on!!!!

.....and the back ones were the easiest! [sm=boohoo.gif]




NOTE: we did not have a lift, only two jackstands
