Did you release the shock?

I highly suggest you leave this job to someone who knows what he is doing and has the right tools. There's the very definite chance that you can get injured doing this.

hes right

Listen to scorchie- the man knows his stuff. How are you man, I haven't seen you post on benzworld for a while- BUt anyhow, chaning springs yourself, especially without a spring compressor is very dangerous, I had a freind who broke his arm trying to change his springs when one got away from him.

i figured it out...i borrowed the spring compressor and worked through it. it wasn't that bad, and it looks sick now slammed with 19in brabus. but it rubs like a ***** in the front i need to roll the fenders.
