Hey all I'm installing new springs today late morning to early evening. If you are bored and in the Albertville area feel free to stop by 6198 Kalenda Ct NE Apt 309 Albertville MN 55301. I'll be out in garage 14 right in front of the building most of the day if you can't find me feel free to call 612-702-2137. I'm not looking for anyone to do this for me. Just haven't gotten the chance to meet anyone out there and might need some info on how to do it. I do have the Haynes manual and doesn't seem like it will be to difficult. But really don't know what to expect before jumping into it.

well i got them done turns out it's easier to not compress the spring at all I removed the bolt from the rear swing arm witha jack supporting the weight of coarse. Undid the lower strut mount and dropped the whole rear swing arm slowly it ended up only taking 20 min a side. After I retorked everything to spec.
