Default Spring Install

I was wondering how much and how long it usually takes for a four wheel lowering spring install. I will be getting some soon and dont really know how to do that.

Depends on your level of knowledge and whether you have a friend. If you are alone and anything goes wrong it will take you more than 2 hours for sure. Part of it is just compressing the springs - if you have to do it by hand that takes forever

Buy a set of coil spring compressors for around $50-60 dollers and do it yourself, It isnt as hard as you think and youll save $$$

You can even borrow the spring compressors from Auto-Zone and save even more money.
