I can't wait to see 'em! Curious why you have to wait a week to get an alignment, though - most full service shops can perform that as soon as the springs are installed.

Please let us know what your shop found difficult about the install so we can pass the info along to our shops. :)

From what I took from their description was that they are very long springs and it took like a 1000 lbs of force to get them off.

I wouldn't tell your shop that because they will charge you extra for sure. These guys said, "although it took us longer to do, we will still charge you what you were quoted."

Install was around $400

They said they were very long springs and to get them off they needed to compress them to more than half that size.

Anyways, who cares, I got the Jeep back and it is awesome...Looks waaay better and handling feels much more responsive with less lag/play, makes the Jeep feel lighter. One of the best mods IMO you can do for looks and performance. I will add sway bars once Eibach releases them.

The pics don't really do it justice, but you definitely notice it in person.

I have a Laredo X, and non-leveling. I don't think these springs are compatible with non-leveling.

I forgot to take measurements before, but I will take measurements after. Someone, with my setup can measure & post. I believe the proper measurement would be from center of wheel to fender because floor to fender would vary based on rim/tire size.

Nice to see some one else did it getting mine done this week

Thats what I thought, but figured "no question is a stupid question" LOL
My thought process was if I put on the springs, then my "normal" ride height would be 1-2 inches lower. I would ideally like to have the car operational in PARK MODE- similar to the stance of the Range Rover Sport.
