LS1Howto.com has complete instructions on this, the web site seems to be down at this time.

Good luck!

Have you removed sway end link bolts from one side and the 4 upper A arm bolts from both sides?

The 'How To' described above is the best resourece. Good Luck!

Here's a write-up I did a few years ago on how to swap out the springs (which Jon used for the basis for his write-up on LS1Howto.com): http://home.hot.rr.com/playtoy97c5/c...ng_Install.txt
