Go slowly from one side to the other

Wear gloves and safety glasses and thick Jacket/pants

You'll be fine

Maybe watch a YouTube video if you haven't done it before. There was no YT my first time

The set I used almost didn’t my fit my stock spring and wouldn’t fit my OME and have the locks lock in place. I ended up having a local shop reassemble then for me. You may want to see if they will fit you new springs before you get to far in.

I used a rental kit from Advance Auto.

Okay,

A spring back story.... Good Friend and neighbor had a 1953 Corvette. Spring on the right failed. Wary of springs stored energy...I approached the removal via the LCA removal....This broken spring shot out from under the vehicle...richocheded off the workbench and out into the driveway... Reality check...even a "dead" spring had energy to take off a person's head....

Best,
Phil

If you're truck is RWD it's much easier IMO. If you're using the Eibach coils they may be stiffer than the factory springs. Use the tool you got to take your OME springs off an get the perches off an maybe have a shop bolt the new struts/springs together.

Nice video Msfitoy. I wish I'd thought of that name: Postalredneck. I'm a little redneck but retired from the postal service.

an alternative may be to take the stuff apart and take the parts to a shop with the new parts and let a shop with a safe setup do the front.
