Default Shock installation

I have Koni Sports on the way and trying to decide if I should attempt the install myself or have a shop do it. As I haven't done something similar, I'd only try it if I could find a nice "how-to". I couldn't find anything on CL, anyone know of a good source?

Thanks

If you have any mechanical background. The procedure is pretty basic, all it takes is some basic hand tools. Are you on lowering springs? If you are on stock springs the rears may be a bit stubborn coming out. An extra set of hands would be nice; I did mine by myself, it's manageable.

Make sure to lift both sides for more droop, and maybe search some more, there's definitely info here.

OK, turns out I didn't really search right. In case anyone else is looking for this as well, here's a nice writeup:
