    It wasn't THAT bad....read all the threads on here and look at all the pics. I compressed the springs myself with the loan-a-tool strut compressor from AutoZone.

    Make sure you have a couple of floor jacks and we had 4 jack stands.

    One tip....make sure you lift the rear end fairly high to get the axle lowered and have some 6" or bigger C clamps to compress the leafs. Was a pain with 3" and 4" LOL The rear is what was time consuming for me. The front took about 4-5hrs. The rear about 6-7. Now that I've done it I figure I could do it in about 8hrs if I had to do it again.

    Take your time and follow the directions and it's all worth it in the end!

    I'm running 16x8 Mickey Thompson Classic Locks and 285/75R16 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs

    Good Luck!
