you need to pop the balljoints in the front but for the rear you can do it without removing anything as long as you push DOWN on the hub after removing the bottom mounting bolt, then have a friend hold it down while you unbolt the top and remove the strut.

i sprayed the aluminum collars with PB Blaster before i shipped it to you so you'd have an easier time adjusting the height if you wanted to.

Looks great! What are your initial thoughts regarding ride quality? Let us know your opinion on ride quality once you have a couple thousand miles on it as well.
