george, when you have a chance can you please elaborate on "dropping the splines out of the hub". i ordered this suspension thinking it will be a basic swap out. thanks.

When I changed the springs on my EP, I found that disconnecting the sway bar end-links and rotating the bar slightly down allowed the hub (from whichever side I was changing springs on) to easily move down with hand pressure. It's an extra step, but probably a lot less trouble than matching up the axle splines again.
