    Why's it gotta be next weekend? I'm in town now...

    Good luck, I'll likely put out a request for mine once I get the parts.

    Sweet thanks. It doesn't seem too hard. Just need tools and enough muscle to lift it all into place it looks like.

    Make sure you have a bottle style jack for the front suspension. Without one it can be a huge PITA to get the lower shock bolt lined up.

    You put it on the Upper control arm right? To force it down?

    From what I've done I put it on the LCA to force it up into lining up with the shock. For initial install could be different though that's just from when we changed my axle and pulled the lower coilover bolt. And it helped a TON putting my cv boot back on after Thursdays trip, in case anyone else has that problem lol

    Yep that's what I did. It helps fully droop everything out so the lower shock bolt slides out easier. Same thing with putting the new assembly back in.

    Alright, well I have a couple bottle jacks, bottles of Jack, angle grinder, torque wrench, cheater bars, and lots of ratchets. Don't really have just a standard non-ratcheting socket set though.

    Make sure you have a regular 14mm open ended or box wrench for the top three bolts on the struts. I could get a socket on the back two because of the fender wall.
