Rear Spring bolt kit

[crebo]

Hello Everybody,

How hard is it to put these on? I was told that it is a pretty lengthy job. It really doesn't look like it.
Any suggestions tips and tricks will help. Thanks anyone for help.

Crebo,

Here is a Past Thread that SARGE81 gives a very good brief description on changing the bolts and bushings

Takes longer to jack the car up and get the tires off.

If you are putting a steel spring on you can use vice grips directly on the spring to hold the jack in place.

You may need to cut the old bolts off. Mine were rusted tight and a hack saw went through them easily.

But any help will be appreciated.

:cool As long as we are on this subject,why do they offer 2 differant lengths? Stock lenght and long length?:confused

They are used to adjust ride height. As I recall it is the opposite of what you would expect. The further out the bolt the lower, hence the longer ones, the car rides and the tighter the higher the car rides.

So if I wanted a factory ride height then I should get the stock length ??

That's what I did.
