Belltech 4804 Spring Install

[99BlackL]

I am looking to install these springs tomorrow, (a buddy installed the 2" shackles yestersay), and I think I am goin to have NTB, local shop, install the springs. I talked to the guy today, and he said its probally going to take him 2hrs to do. Does this sound right? I dont want to pay alot, because I only paid $100 for the springs themselves.

You could do it yourself in about an hour. It is very easy to do. It's easier to take it apart at the upper control arm then what some of the how-to's say to do it. Just remove the sway bar end link, pull the shock out then put a small jack under the lower control arm and put some pressure on it. Then unbolt the upper control arm and swing it out and lower the jack. Pull spring out and put new spring in and rebolt the contol arms etc. You will need the cam bolts too for alignment.

Two hours is about right. You'll also need a cam-bolt kit. Average cost is 49.00
Here are step by step instruction w/ pics on how to install your springs. I used this same guide.
