thanks...that was pretty much exactly what i needed..

besides a few minor mishaps, everything is going fine... i got the front done,... i got them set up like they should be, i'm just jacking it up, adjusting the springs, and lowering it back down seeing if it's how low i want it...

one more question... whenever i adjust the big lowering nut on the spring to go lower, the spring is sort of loose..... is that okay? or is there a way to prevent/fix that... keep on keepin on everybody

I think it's fine for the spring to be loose b/c my friend's Skunk 2s were like that too.
