its not that bad considering. 1st, unbolt your calpier and hang it up somewhere out of the way. (NOT ON THE UPPER CONTROL ARM! mine fell on my head while i was workin on it). 2nd, take out your shocks. 3rd, (and this is the tricky part) remove the upper ball joint/control arm from the spindle. there might be something else im missing (in order to get the lower control arm loose), but if not... and once thats done, the lower control arm and spring will dangle. push down on the lower control arm and remove the spring. then just put everything back together. it took me an hour to do the whole front end. and thats never doing it before and with a mild concusion haha. good luck!

Do any of you guys with lowered trucks tow anything??? Just wondering how the towing capacity is affected from real world experience users.
