Foxridge parking lot oil changes!
I didn't realize you had to assembly the struts. I thought you ordered new shocks and springs for the front? Or they didn't come assembled...

Re: Tools/Help Installing Lift
They didn't come assembled so we took apart an old strut and got about halfway done compressing the new spring before we decided it wasn't safe anymore. Then we back tracked, reassembled the stock strut and stuck all the stock stuff back in so we could take it in this morning.

The back looks good, and great call on being safe! Not fun to come to that conclusion, but not getting injured is worth it.

Did you get it done? I saw a lifted WK at the game today and thought it might be yours.

Re: Tools/Help Installing Lift
It wasn't me. I know there is a resident that has a lifted wk with a drop bracket lift and 33s so it was probably him.

Hahah I wouldn't have even wanted to try that with the springs compressed as much as they already were
