as far as what i have read to believe, it is as follows:

jack up car
place on jack stands
remove wheels
place jack under center diff.
unbolt shocks
lower diff
springs fly everywhere.


So, i bought an 01 Kia Sportage. before i even drove it, i nick-named it The Goat.. it has been just like a goat.. stubbern at every corner...
