Well, I recieved my struts today, I already had the springs. I'm just waiting on my camber bolts. Anything I should know about the install process? does anyone know of a good writte-up on install? thanks!

Well, If you have a zx2... CJW and I did his s/r swap in alittle over 4 hours. It's not that bad at all. You're going to need a spring compressor and I'd deffinately advise air tools.

SERIOUS SAFETY ALERT: When doing any suspension work always remember that what you're working on could be under load. I've personally seen spring shoot across a shop because it slipped off a compressor. Be very careful and pay attention.

The only thing that we ran into was the bolts holding the strut to the trailing arm where a bitch to get out and back in. A trick to get them out is to apply pressure to the back as you Loosen the bolt. Try to draw it out kind of.

The issue with them going back in is you need to use quite a bit of force to line the holes back up. Beyond that its cake.

Also, the best feeling in the world. Taking the last look at a 4x4, then when your down it looks liek a brand new car. Makes you want to go wash your car right after and show it off.

so i take it that you got the SR setup going on your car Ivy? If so I can probably help you out. I did my own install and it took me about 5 hours by myself, with a little help from my lady, but overall its not that bad. Knowing what I know now I could do it in half the time. I did have air tools and they do make it a cake walk. I would advise them if you can use them.

I'm actually doing the progress/s/r strut setup, I'm doing the install at the shop of my friends dad who restores cars professionally. I will have air tools....and maybe a lift. (don't know if he has one, prolly not, but if u restored cars professionally you'd think you'd want one) if you want to come up to kearney early saturbay I'd appreciate it as long as it's cool with him. after that we install a new radiator in his truck.

that can work out, but do you think i could get my sway bar installed also? i think a shop would have anything necessary to do it with...

we've moved the install to sunday ( I just got home from a 15 hour shift) . and the shop isn't a "professional" one really it's a shop he has on his personal property, so no lift or anything. I don't see a problem with it, but I'll have to ask him. wouldn't happen to have an extra sway bar handy would ya?

what time on sunday? i have auto x from about 8-4 . josh and i go my sway bar on today so thats taken care of. and sadly no i dont have an extra

damn, I'm doing it at 11. I have softball afterwards thanks for the offer though.
