it would be about a 3hr job the first time, then like hour and a half otherwise. but i dont expect that i will do it more than once or twice.

I did it myself and learned a lot. I would do it that way again in a second. I love my Bilsteins but would trade for Xidas if the opportunity arose.

just wanted to give you an update, got a set of agx shocks with sleeves and summit springs, 350lb in front and 450lb in the back. very comfortable on the road and better than stock ride quality.

Methinks the stronger springs should be in the front.
