it is an easy job. Make sure you have a good floor jack. level surface and a good set of jack stands. You will need to jack up the center pumpkin and put the jack stands under the axle first to get everything on, then drop the axle and have the stands under the frame to adjust the spring tension. Also in the directions it says to put the threaded rod in about an inch into the spring... I did that on the one side and realized that the thread has to go almost all the way through the spring so on the other side I ran the spring almost all the way in just enough for me to still get the hook over the leaf. It will make your life a little easier. You will have to take off the plastic wheel well covers to get to the leafs. Also if you have utilitrack you will have trouble getting to the drivers side nuts due to the lock box. I ended up using a open end ratchet to hold the top of the nut. Also you need to take off the rubber bump stop that is on top of the leaf. It is a small allen (don't remember the size off hand). use lots of wd40 on those parts the day before you do this job.

thats about it...
good luck
