Air suspension acting up

[bertro]

I finally bit the bullet and ordered the strutmasters convesion kit, plus spacers (3" front, 2" rear). I should have them in a week or so. Bye-bye crappy air ride!!

Really? I heard good things about them. I'm using the model with the Eibach springs and life warranty, not the cheaper model with chinese springs. Anyway, it would cost too much to return them now. They're already in the mail.

Btw, how difficult are the suspension nuts and bolts to remove? I took a quick look at mine and they look rusty. Should i spray them with some WD40 the night before?

penetrating oil + impact wrench , for those 30 mm bolts

Could I do it without an impact wrench? Like with a power bar?
I called my Ford dealer today and they want 5 hours of labor to do it. I was like WTF, people at home do it in like 3 hours...

power / breaker bar , maybe danger , your car my slide off from jack stand , U need to put big force for this bolts.
4 hours job min. left side are ease , right side will take longer , location of solenoids lock clips are problematic.......

Thanks guys.
I realized that I migh as well just let the ford garage do it. The amount of tools I'd have to buy to do this properly would come very close to the price of the 4-5 hours of work Ford quoted me. So I'll let the pros do it.

I'll report back after the job is done (scheduled for the 13th).

Bam! I'm static. And lifted! Yay.
Adios air ride!
