Woops....dropped the keyboard and posted before I could finish.....
Took the fronts to a local shop where the owner allowed me to use his press, showed up with the prerequisite tray of coffee's and box of donuts for the owner and his crew. Between donut eating, coffee drinking and general B.S'ing the job took 2 hours.
Back home in the driveway it was scorching hot, but there was no stopping me from finishing this project.....(the wife tried a couple times but quickly realized she was getting nowhere's fast and went shopping.
The fronts were a bit of a challenge getting back together, but with a little bit of persuasion I was able to finagle them back in.....(the best part is....no left over hardware).....
How she looked after the fronts were done....

Then it was on to the back end, far easier than the front, but it still held a few challenges of it's own. I broke out the scew spring compressors that failed to do the front springs, but they came in real handy on the back getting those coils over the Daystar spacer.....
Working on the back end......

Since I won't be able to get a front end alignment until Monday or Tuesday I'll be keeping my driving to a minimum, however I had to take a short test ride after the job was done.
The ride for the most part hasn't changed, and actually got better since I pulled out the spring spacer nuts I had twisted between the coils to give it what little height boost it had. Those things are notorious for making the ride real stiff, and I could feel the difference without them.
Over all I like the look, and I'm happy with the ride quality, I know there's better out there, but at this point in time I just can't afford better, but I'm not disappointed with plan "B" either.......
