Red face Ughhh!

2 trips to auto zone, 1 wrong spring compressor, 1 trip to discount auto, and 5 alignment tab adjustments later.....i have installed my left front damper and spring (took me all day ). the hardest part was getting the damn alignment tab to line up with the tab on the damper fork. i have three more to go, the back ones should be a breeze though, none of that alignment tab bs!!! pain in the damn ass!!!!

anyone that can give any advice to make it easier? also, is it REQUIRED to trim the bump stops? i'm lowering 1.5".

Only if you want decent suspension travel.

Lots of bangs from your suspension I would think.
