Have you already started and got stuck on something or have you not even started and want help with the whole thing? Though it will take a few hours you can do it by yourself if you have some basic tools. There are some great DIY threads on here of how to install lowering springs.

In case you may not know already, just make sure you prevent the front axles from popping out of their sockets, unless you want a few hours of extra fun lol.

My Dodge dealer. A bit of a drive for you.

ANy shop can do do springs. Rather easy with a hoist and proper tools. Check some.

The do it yourself guide was easier than it looks. That's what I did. You can get it done with a basic set of tools, an extra hand, and about six-eight hours of your time.

I may be able to help out. The problem is scheduling a time to do it since I'm usually busy most of the time. haha

PLUS, its kind of a pain to get to the bolts for the front struts without pulling the wipers and cowl. You can still get away without removing the cowl, its just a bitch and a half to do (I've done it on a friend's GE when putting Tein coils on). I'd recommend buying the complete set (or at minimum a few) of the cowl clips so that it can be removed and properly reinstalled.

Shoot me a text if you still have my number.
