rear spring and shock installation Q's

I finally got the front done. Complete pain in the butt that was. Anyways, now its time to do the rear. I was just wondering if the springs will be easier to remove and put in. Also, will I need to use the spring comressor for the rear springs? And finally, does it take a while for the springs to settle? My front doesn't really look any lower than before. Thanks

no, you dont need a compressor for the back. just support the rear with a jack, unbolt the shocks from the inside, which is kinda a pita, then lower the rear, and the springs will just fall out

it will take like a week of driving for the springs to settle

Good, thats what I wanted to hear. Using that compressor was like playing with a loaded gun. Glad the hard part is over with.

you dont have to unbolt them from inside, just undo the lower nut on the rear end. the springs come out very easilywhen the shock bolt is taken off. LMK if i can help.....
