So, no, I didn't do it. Why would I?

Front, no problem, rear is a bit of a pain in the ass.
What you need:
1) Liquid Wrench
2) A good friend
3) A 30 pack to split with this good friend afterwards
4) A TORQUE WRENCH!!!
5) A SPRING COMPRESSOR!!! (You can rent them almost anywhere, autozone does it for free. Dont do this w/out one, its dangerous. The aftermarket springs aren't too bad but the OEM springs are compressed to the point that its kinda scary).
6) Air tools aren't required but it makes the job alot easier, i would reccomend them if you have access, the screw type spring compressors are very tedious if you are doing it by hand(be forewarned that if you used airtools on a rented spring compressor the owner tends to get pissed off, i almost lost my deposit).
7) A helms manual is good for torque specs, etc, etc. But for the most part i just followed this website.

Above all, make you sure you have a good amount of daylight left when you start, these things have a tendency to take longer than you think, and BE PATIENT with stuck bolts.
oh yeah, and do one wheel at a time so you dont get the left and right mixed up(newbie mistake on my part).
If you need any other help just post here or IM me at isz254

I did mine about a week ago, the front went ok, took like 2 hrs for the front alone. But when I got to the back, the screw was rusted on solid, nothing was gettin that sucker off, so I had to leave the rear on with stock springs and shocks for a few days untill I went to the shop and their airtools helped me out.
definantly try to do it yourself it's not hard, rent a spring compressor and try it, follow these instructions.
