2003, 2WD with 65K on the clock; considering a lower kit and have some questions. Anyone that has R/Rd front/rear springs, shocks and/or sway bars is qualified to respond.
1. This looks like an 8-12 hour job for a first timer; is it?
2. Double wishbone w/coil overs, so the process looks like remove shocks, separate spring from shock, install new spring on shock and reinstall shock? or, purchase a kit with shocks, springs, etc all assembled and replace as a unit.
3. What tool is necessary to decompress/compress shock R/R spring?
4. Shocks should be replaced at 65K? They seem to be working fine.
5. Do the shorter lowering spring require a shorter shock?
6. Don't have a service manual but will get one; which is best? Ford? Chilton? or other?
