    Default Install help w/springs and shocks

    The springs will be here tomorrow and shocks have been delayed until Thursday. I have had a few unofficial offers so I thought I would post the official thread. Anyone want to guide me through this on Saturday? It's worth beer and pizza

    I have plenty of tools and the location.


    Just need the know-how. I've did mine but I'm not familiar with NBs (probably the same damned thing but I'd rather err on the side of safety!)

    I'd love to come and help out, but I'll be in Paris (Texas, that is... ) all day watching my nephew play baseball.

    What part of town will this session be in?
    I can drop in and offer encouragement (or swear on your behalf, depending on progress), though I likely won't be able to get anywhere until 11am or so.
    Spring compressors are available, should you need a set.

    I sent Tailchaser a pm and begged him to help. He can be the smart one in the group.

    I have a service appointment with the stupid cable guy. I really feel like blowing it off though. I have a set of spring compressors. 8 sounds good so we can get out of there. I figure if I do that all day, then try and autoX sunday, I might be in trouble...
