Trunk Springs

I recently bought a brand new set of truck springs for my 03 z off ebay which did not come with any directions. Ive looked around on youtube for a video. I am by no means a mechanic but I think with some directions or video I can handle this. Any help would be appreciated.

Which is it? Trunk or truck? And a Z06 has neither.

I think he means the spring kit that a vendor sells that mounts to the trunk latch, its so your trunk opens further when you release it.

Sorry about confusion. I bought a pair of shocks for the back lid to replace worn out ones.

So shocks, not springs. Lol.

Having trouble swapping them out?

Good find.
I was shocked to hear that his truck's trunk needed new springs (nor does it have a trunk).
