LOL....try telling that to the guy who has never taken his front end apart before and asking how to do it...

 

I am totally clueless on anything suspension wise... maybe I will take it to a shop but I hate paying a arm and a leg for something like this.

 

Its not hard, just take it all apart and put it back together. Then adjust your tie rods if needed and get an alignment

lift truck and support with jack stands
remove tire
remove caliper and brakes
remove rotor
remove wheel hub
disconnect sway bar link from BOTH sides
disconnect tie rod
remove two nuts on lower shock and single nut on top

Now I use a big zip tie and zip tie my upper control arm to my spindle so when it comes loose, it doesnt fall out on my foot or anything else. It is heavy.

I use the pitman arm puller to break loose the lower BJ and then the upper control arm.

From there the spindle will fall out IF NOT tied in place.

push the LCA down and remove spring
zip tie coil spacer of spring and put back in place and do reverse steps to reassemble.

 

My coil spacers arrived today, poorly packaged and dinged up around the edge... I have someone that's supposed to come install them tomorrow for $100. I will watch him do it so I can learn a few things.

 

$100 is good for the several hours its going to take. Dont forget the alignment when the shop is open on Monday

 

Yea I will get an alignment Monday. $100 seems like a good price to me
For someone that knows what they're doing it shouldn't take but 2hours if that I would think.

 

Lol....its gonna be more thsn two hours. Come back and let us know

 

OK I will let you know tomorrow. I read somewhere, I think a DIY, that they did one side in like 30 minutes

 

^^^ LOL....30 mins....

Takes that to do brakes alone (one side and if youre good)

 

Well, just hit the hour and a half mark and the first side is almost back together... lol
