I just got in my H&R springs, so maybe this weekend if its not too busy I'll lower the RL a bit.

Can't wait.

Pics to follow, before and after.

I bought new shocks/struts as well so I'll get all that done at once. I'm hoping to have a free weekend here soon. I can't imagine that shocks/springs should take too long to swap out.

The fronts are fairly simple. The only annoying thing about the back is having to remove the back seat. I can't speak for the springs in the rear tho!

Ahh crap I forgot about that part damn it.... lol

All done. New shocks and H&R springs.
I did the front left first and it took about 3 hours just because I didn't know exactly what I was doing or how to go about it.
The front right and rear took less than 3 hours total, so the first one was a learning experience.
Happy to say that I love the look and it rides great. I may have to switch to a 40 series tire because I get some rub with the family in the car.
Other than that, easy.

Now I think I need to replace upper and lower control arms. The lower I can see where the rubber is cracking. I've found upper/lower at rockauto.com for $417.99 shipped after a 5% off coupon. Anyone find them at a better price or have any positive/negative things to say about the Beck/Arnley brand?

Is this the simple/ straight forward route to take? It looks good to me! Nice work!

I think Beck/Arnley is a solid option for the RL chassis. Heard good things about them and plan on buying them in the future myself.

Looking good there, man!

Thanks! It wasn't super easy but not difficult at all. I did end up just cutting my old springs out because I couldn't find a good spring compressor. The front took some time, I took apart more than I wanted to but the time I spent taking things apart I saved myself some headache trying to muscle things into place. The rears were really easy compared to the front.

My first front corner took 3 hours as I was figuring out what to do. the other front took maybe 45 min and the back took 30 min each.
