Not sure how much you're willing to do. It's not a terribly hard job, but you need a real good spring compressor......preferably one that locks and can't slip off.....those springs require several (like 4 or 5) inches of compression to go together, which is enough potential energy to snap bones if something lets go.....I found the hardest part was jockying the lower control arm off the front sway bar....

If this sounds too involved, better let someone else do it......

good luck


Hey All I need to know if I should put the springs in myself....Or pay someone to do it? is it hard work?
