Like I said, I did mine on a driveway on jackstands, then again in a shop with a lift; I'll gladly lend a hand. Plus, this will give me an excuse to come to Phoenix to pick up FRShadow's HIDs. Hopefully you don't do this Saturday (6th), I have a pretty big install to do that day (my secret project).

No need to have anyone hold it while we can loosen top nut while the struts are bolted in...... Once we get it a little loosen then we can pull strut out and exchange springs and then hook it all back together, throw the struts back in, torque everything down and BAM, done! But you can use an impact you just need to know what your doing...... I learned the hard way and did break a seal but learned the lesson and know what to do now....... Just needs to be on its lowest setting and not fully engage the impact guns trigger and do it in burst..... But we will use a regular wrench and socket so none of this "bad" can happen
Ps- if anything does, i got 4 struts just chillin :happy0180:
