I've got 4 jack stands i'll bring them. The coil spring in front passenger side was work to remove and install maybe somebody has a way or a tool to aid removing and installing, all other springs no problem.

Yap thats how it should work but both me and Jim had to fight the passenger side for some reason, I got 2 door X and he has 4 door Rubi with same problem. I finally used a long bar to wedge it between the spring and slowly rock it out

I will start moving the Chevelle out again.

It only took me 2-3 hours to do mine.

If you want to do it at my place just let me know when.
