You also don't want to injure yourself. I don't know how we're going to accomplish the whole swap; lift or jacks and stands. Either way, you're going to want some way to keep the vehicle in the air (about 18-24 inches minimum). I would recommend doing it in stages, too. You're going to have to acquire springs compressors (borrowed or bought). I recommend the internal type (single screw). The springs can kill you if they get loose. So, be careful. You also can take about 10 minutes to unbolt your front struts with a pneumatic wrench, or 3 hours with hand tools. So, I highly recommend the pneumatic wrenches. The rear springs and shocks are a piece of cake and basically fall out and can be replaced in less than an hour. The fronts are quite different, so be prepared for that, also. If you are going to make all of these changes, I would recommend C/C plates concurrently. For more detail, e-mail me. Good luck. BT
