If you don't feel confident, don't do it. Honestly, it's a 3 hour job if it's your first time, but it's easy as long as you take your time, rent a spring compressor, and have basic nuts and bolts knowledge.

He will need one to get the hardware off of his old shocks to use with the new spring\shock. (top mount, bump stop, washer, dust cover (optional))

This is his first spring install... not the wisest decision

I don't use a spring compressor... i just shoot all the contents into a box. But that's pro material
