Sprin spacers
How hard is it to install 40mm spring spacers on a G55?
Any instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Gene

It's not that difficult if you're use to working on truck-like suspension. Air tools are, in my opinion, a must. You'll need heavy duty spring compressors, heavy duty jacks and jack stands, as well as a full assortment of 1/2 sockets and breaker bars. Also many larger wrenches. If you have a lift even better as lots of time is spent just getting the axles off the ground and at full travel.
If I were to add spring spacers to my G55 (after already having swapped out to G63 springs and Fox shocks), it would probably take 4ish hours for all corners, give or take. If I was doing it the first time, it would probably take 3-4 hours per axle.
