shut up foo. you need two 17 mm, 14mm box wrench, 12 mm, allen key for top of strut....or........you could use a shoe string or wet t-shirt...lets just say i have retarded friends and leave it at that
if you didn't find the how to....
FRONT: unbolt wheel, undo lower bolt in fork, undo brake lines, undo bolt squeezing fork onto shock, undo 2 bolts for the top hat connecting to chassis (not middle one), slide the bitch out, spring compress it, put your allen key in the hole and undo the middle bolt, take off the top hat, slide off spring, reassemble with new bumpstop, screw back on middle bolt with allen key, slide that bitch back in, have a friend hold it while you loosely do the top 2 bolts to the chassis, bolt the fork to shock, bolt fork to lca, bolt in brake line, make sure everything is correct torque, put your wheel back on, enjoy bouncin down the road. thats just off the top of my head. find a write up with pics.

if you do a road trip to sac and we are lowering a car at the time ill give you a holler hahahaha......man...I think I would like to watch some idiot try and use a wet t-shirt in place of a spring compressor.:lol:
what does work instead is the ties they use on big rigs to secure cargo down. those arent supposed to move at all. so they work pretty well.

thats what i used they work very well. metal hooks at each end are not going to easily slip off the spring, those straps can hold a lot, plus you can compress the spring fairly easy with the ratcheting part. i've seen shoelaces used but that was just too risky for me.^You mean the ratcheting nylon straps?
