1LE drop ???

I'm going to do BMR 1.25" springs soon . But I'm wondering if I should do tie-rods & trail-arms at the same time ?? Or is it a waste of money?

Get the BMR anti wheel hop kit from JDP and then add the springs they'll make you a nice package. Defiantly makes a difference in the 1LE even. I was dumb and did the springs at a later date. Which is like a 30min job so not bad the subframe bushings are a PITA

I just ordered the H&R super sport lowering springs with the camber bolts. Local shop quoted me $75/hr. How long should I expect it to take. Never done them myself so I'm not even wanting to attempt it.

Do the springs yourself in garage. Literally takes like 3 sockets. A couple wrenches and that's it. Takes an hour

Now that part is a bitch. We did it outsells though. Don't bother trying to pull them out. Skip right to the torch method. (And use puller to pull them once heated/melted) took us like 6hrs or so. And most of that was looking for tools/parts to make a puller because we did it at a buddies barn with a lift
