Coil Spring Noob Here...

How much work goes into installing a coil spring spacer? Never had to take my front suspension apart that far before.

I'm feeling the noob shame already, trust me.

Not that much work, see if you can gather whats needed first, tools etc, wetting down bolts with liquid wrench ahead of time, and a manual for your year helps.

You have to remove the lower shock bolt. Take the 10mm bolt out at the top of the coil spring, lower the spindle. Pull the spring towards you so you can get a socket and extension inside the spring to remove the nut and washer. Its a 30 minute job if you dont know what you are doing.
