Springs made a BIG difference huh?

How hard are they to swap out?

As long as you don't go with too wide a wheel, you shouldn't have a problem. You'd be hard pressed to rub on the fender lining, but if you're running a wide wheel, you could rub on the lip.

Springs aren't hard to swap out, just time consuming. If you've never done them before, it will take you a couple hours. You can do them in your driveway with a decent socket set, jack, and spring compressor. You can rent a spring compressor from your local autozone type store for not much $$. Pfadt has a nice set of instructions, online, with lots of pics.

Chase, just an fyi, i did have issues with my 22"s rubbing, but it was the wheels offset, not the springs themselves. These springs are great, and chase is great to deal with. A+

No issues so far... but in Indiana there are not many speed bumps to try to negotiate. (snow plows take care of that issue) My driveway is fairly steep and no issue going up or down it...

The spring compressor is not really needed. I did the swap without one.
