Well, i have the back in just fine but i thought i would take the front to a shop to see if they will do it. The first one i went to flat out said NO. I called about 2 other places and they said no also. All reasons of liability crap. SOOO i dropped by advance auto and rented a coil spring strut compressor but the problem is that the metal hooks dont fit in between the springs? I am going to try and force them into the springs with a screw driver or something but does anyone have any other ideas of how to do this? I need to get this all put back together!:shock:

PS i have 2 inch spacers...

OK well update, right after i got up from the computer i called one last shop and they said they would do it. I just got back from the shop and they got them in however they were CONVINCED that i was not going to gain any lift from the spacers. I was like yeah ok, just put them in. Also i am wishing i would have picked up a set of rancho struts to put in there, the stock ones are fairly worn, but i think they will make it through the summer so i can save for some new ones. I will be putting them back in tomarrow morning and i will post some pictures of the before/after shots in the pictures section.
