Mike - I attempted the install today and could not figure out how to get the entire front assembly low enough to pull out the stock shock! Did you have to remove the bolt that runs through the lower control arm??

There's a DIY on this forum for springs that you can follow that talks about how to get the front out. It's definitely a bitch but its doable.
