Should do your own supsension..a shop is going to charge you out the ___ for it. How long do you think it would take you, and what tools are you missing?

are they lowering springs? you might not need a spring compressor to put them together, you should be able to install them with a floor jack and hand tools. air would be better, but not necessary.

might want to get an alignment after.

Suspension is not that difficult. Just rent a spring compressor, and if you have a decent set of tools, you won't have a problem.

yeah i don't have a good set of wrenches or a torque wrench or a lift. scrager, you still offering space to do it? i'll rent the compressor if you don't have it.
