What part about it was tough? I have someone who can help me. He has only done a small amount of suspension work, but he's mechanically inclined.

Oh, I should clarify that the springs I have are Phastek brand, but I was told that they are manufactured by BMG. They came with great instructions, which said to plan on about 4 hours to get them installed. It actually took me and 3 other guys (but really only one of us had much l mechanical experience) over 6 hours to get them done.
We didn't have a lift, so we had to use a jack & stands which doesn't leave tons of room to work in, & I spent much of the day on my back under the car. A lift would have made things SO MUCH EASIER!
And (its been a year, so I don't remember exactly which parts), we had problems with the front shock assembly and spring fitting together snugly like they should have, so we had to modify a few pieces to get things fitting in the springs like they needed to.
We did get it together - but only because one of the guys that was assisting me has mechanical experience and was able to creatively solve our problems... And now that it's done I LOVE the look and the feel, but I'll be paying someone to install them next time.
