That is my next question is it recommended to do them all the way around or just the front springs. If you do the rears also wouldn't that bring back the rake issue.

Alldogs Offroad Front Springs Installed!

I ordered 2 front springs last night. Today, I was getting quotes for installation and I was shocked at the prices I was quoted, 4 hours of shop labor plus anywhere for 150-175 for labor. Estimates range from $650-$850. I think that is super ridiculous prices. I have to evaluate if I want to do it myself. I have changed struts and springs in the past on cars. I just don't know if I have the heavy duty tools, jacks, spring compressor (one shop claimed that the rentals spring compressors can't do it) to do the job. Any thoughts on taking this job on?
$650-800 just for the fronts... I would probably just do it yourself... I would think any rental spring compressor would get the job done... It will be time consuming taking everything apart but sometimes there is more satisfaction in doing it yourself.... Especially when you'll be over $1K parts/labor and alignment....
Rental spring compressors work. I used them. The first side took 2-3 hours to disassemble, swap out, and reassemble. The other side took 30 minutes. Have some beer on hand and a full afternoon - you'll be fine.
Luckily the rears look a lot easier to swap out.
