    I'm game just let me know when. I used the spring compressor
    you can borrow from Autozone. It worked ok but wasn't the best.

    We used my handheld grinder with a thin metal cutting disc. It was easy. The hardest part was for sure getting the springs out with the AZ compressor.

    Cary, I had a great time doing this and I think it looks great! Much better than before!

    Bob, I'd be glad to come over and help out. It's a good excuse to come over and see the brother in law AND look at the 4 door Maverick too!

    Are those 15" wheels?

    Stance/wheel/tire size looks about perfect in my opinion. I like it alot!

    Hey Bob:
    We seriously can do it but it will take some planning for me to come
    out there. Sunday's are bad for me, it would have to be a Saturday.
    My youngest starts spring soccer next month and I don't have a
    schedule yet. I will see when her early games are becouse i could
    come after one of them. We will need the compressor and Randy's
    cut off tool. Also a floor jack and jackstands of course and an
    impact helps alot. So get with Randy since I think he wants to
    come look at the 4 door you found, and we will see when we can
    all get together.:thumbs2:
