It really isnt as bad as you think to do it. I started mine and was done in a half day. If you have a spring compressor and simple mechanical knowledge then it isnt that bad at all. Just have to unbolt the fronts and then compress them with the spring compressor and re-install in reverse order. The rears are even easier than the fronts cause the springs arent around the shock...so just compress the control arm and unbolt the shock then let out the arm slowly and re-install the spring and voila...done. Only thing you need to be carefull with is the spring compressor cause I have seen springs fly faster than you can see and that wouldnt feel too good if one came loose and hit ya <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> So just be carefull and take your time and its pretty simple...will save ya some dough <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

There is a step by step write up on the web somewhere that I used the first time when I did mine and its on a 2001 that was a good detailed explanation....cant find it right now though cause I am not at my comp......I think Alex might chime in if he has it though for ya...or someone else <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
