yeah its actually really simple... even coomer could do it and he's not very mechanically inclined.

nope, only the front springs need to be compressed while you put them on, not off... just use a heavy friend.

i didnt use a spring compresor for either side, if your lowering the springs arent as long as the stock so you dont have to put much pressure putting it back together, i highly recommend using air tools or your gonna have a nightmare with the rear.

I can tell you that a shop will charge you 6 hours labor... 3 hours for the rear and 3 hours for the front. I think it's pretty outrageous but that's the book rate.

Like it was said, they will charge you 3 hours for the front and 3 hours for the rear in labor. So ballpark figrue you are looking at close to $400 which is why everyone is telling you to do it yourself.
