Got the front done!!! Not an easy job, but I got it done in my driveway in about 5 hours. Would have been less, but on the first side I reassembesed the top strut mount incorrectly and had to compress the spring again and correct my error. Lesson learned. While it’s possible to do this by yourself (I did), it would be so much easier with a second set of hands. I’d also recommend taking the struts to a mechanic with a wall mounted spring compressor to swap in the FOX shocks. I did it with rental screw-typespring compressors and it was a bit sketchy. Other than that, it was pretty straight forward. Next up... the rear. While there are more parts, it looks a little easier.

Nope, now it’s reverse raked LOL. Roughly 39-1/2 (ground to fender) up front and 37-1/4 in the back. The back looks easier than the front, I’m going to tackle it tomorrow or Sunday.
