slight update, waiting for a spring compressor to come in today so I can throw in the lowering springs. Should have it done this weekend unless something goes wrong, which it probably will. Stay tuned!

You don't need a compressor for our cars. They are kind of a pain to get in there anyways. Do a search on it. Fairly simple process.

Rear ones are easy. Unbolt the quad and main shocks and slowly let down each side. You can remove the springs by hand.


Front ones are a bit trickier, but no compressor needed unless you aren't comfortable

Rears do look simple, A friend and I started on the fronts last weekend, got the passenger side done, it was a slight pain in the rear. Driver side was a different story, Finally i said screw it I'm getting a compressor lol.
