Got the springs this morning from dave. so I immediately ripped into it. taking the old springs out is pretty easy.

here is a photo of the old and new.


the new springs are a real pain to compress, I was using some coil spring compressors from harbor freight, had it all together and realized I did not align the bolts on top to go into the upper mount, so had to compress them all over. Got it aligned and then I was reversing the coil spring compressor and it froze up, I was able to get it off, but it kinda ruined my project for the time being! so I guess I get a little break until the wife gets home
so I can run to harbor freight!

the other side is all ready to go, to the point where I need the spring compressor. You can remove the old springs without one by un-bolting the strut nut and lowering the a-arm down with a floor jack, it will release all the tension and you can then take the spring out, did it that way 4 times now, no issues. but you still have to be very careful and respect how much tension is in that spring!

anyway, here is a few more pics. 1st one is a shot of the stock spring, and the 2nd is the RSG spring. The truck was flat on the ground and the truck was moved before taking the pictures, so the suspension would level out.



Here is a picture of the rsg spring nestled in its new home.


And here is 1 more shot, of the front kit I ordered from dave. so far so good.! I will be happy once its over!
