coil springs?

Quick question guys. I was wondering if I can do one side at a time since I only have one jack stand and my jack? Also do i need anything else other than the wrenches and sockets for the big bottom bolt, shock and upper bolt for the retainer? So 3 wrenches or sockets right?

Yes, you can do it one side at a time with a floor jack, jack stands and normal hand tools. It is easy but a long extension makes it much easier.

Lol yeah looking at the big bottom bolt it was hard to find a good spot to put my wrench but I got it. I don't have a socket that big so it will have to do.

Did my coil springs today. Only took 3 hours and most of that time was me crying about the heat. Glad we don't salt the roads here in Colorado. The bottom bolt was easy to take off or better yet everything was due to lack of rust
