How to install lowering springs diy

Post by awdvibe03 »

I have made up my mind I'm going to use the Canuck lowering springs and since my wife and a just had kid number two I'm going to do it myself ( no money lol ) so what I need is a step by step walk through on how to do it. I am going to rent a spring compresser and I don't have any air tools just good old wrenchs and sockets. So an help pics links anything to make this as painless as posible. Thanks guy or girls.

I can assure you that they will fit and give you the drop you were looking for, right around 3" I can get them to you in one piece, lolOther than that not much.The power coat is worn a bit and there is some surface rust starting. They are about 1 year old and they have about 8-9k miles on them.photos:
