Re: lowering kits

It is not hard at all if you can follow directions. You will need basic tools to get the job done. If you run into any trouble while doing this job just ask. there are many intelligent people around here that could walk you through any probs

Re: lowering kits

Thats good to know. I am going to try to put on a kit in the spring when the weather starts to warm up. I dont have a garage so I have to do it all outside, but it sounds like it should not be to bad if you guys say it is not to bad.


Thanks
