just in case it went over your head in the last pic post i made
just a fyi - autozone's spring compressor is crap atleast the one i borrowed was the teeth doodas that are supposed to go into the coil and grab it are too wide to even fit between the stock coils with them still assembled, and if you were to use them to compress - say OME HD's - you'd never get the teeth out
so i ended up having to go down the street and borrow the stand alone spring compressor a friend of mine has - the kind with the wheel on top and the 3 catch doodas at the bottom and the 2 sliding plates you bolt the upper plate too, and that fkr kept wanting to buldge the spring one way or the other, i about lost my mind getting the front coil/struts assembled. The strut rod would catch on the bushing in the strut plate and start compressing the strut
it almost made me wish i had let the shop down the street put the front in and align it for 180 bucks
the crap i do to save 140 dollars
the rear has probably settled i put about 400 miles on it with about 300-400 lbs of crap in the cargo area and with 300-400 lbs of crap in there it's sitting at 21.5 so it'll probably go back up to 22.5 if i take that weight out , the front is right at 22.2-22.5 unsettled - taking it to get aligned in the morning, other than the toe when turning it rides GREAT.
After it being 18 inches front and rear i feel like it's on stilts
