New coil spring install - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well my new coil springs came in yesterday. Here's a quick write up I did on installing them.

Wrenches
Breaker Bar
Coil spring compressor
Jacks
Jack stands
Grinder with cut off wheel
Penetrating oil

I decided to swap out my coils when I noticed they were cracked.

I started off by spraying down the bolts with penetrating oil for the last 2 days. I'm glad I did even though they were still a bear to get out and were rust welded. Once my strings arrived I went outside and sprayed them down once more and went to inspect my new springs and cups.
