I haven't done it yet. I won't say it's easy. But I don't think it will be extremely difficult. You will need a coil spring compressor (you can borrow one for free via Kragen/O'Reilly Auto Parts). You have one bolt on the top at the strut mount. And you have 4 bolts that go through the two fork-halves and the lower-end of the shock (I think it's 4 bolts). Get the hardware loose and compress the spring so there's no tension. Remove the shock & coil, then transfer the coil to the new shock body (should be able to keep the coil spring compressed). Bolt it all back together and remove the spring compressor. But... if you are thinking about doing a suspension lift using the UPYOURKIA kit, that would be the perfect time to do it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
