    I dont have a DIY but I still have the instructions I could scan them I guess, as for an accurate drop I had mine on a lift and the up and down and up and down trick was used.

    just remember to support the LCA or you'll pop the front axle out.. it's a common problem when lowering the ep.. and as far as accuracy, you just gotta count the coils and then hope it's even. but bet that there's gonna be a lot of lifting and dropping. just use a lift or hydraulic jacks..

    How long did it take you to do this and what type of tools? Im trying to see if somehow I can do it myself or if I have to waste money and send it to a shop.

    it seems pretty straight forward. just remember to support the trailing arm so the axles dont pop out.

    off topic...did you get yours yet?

    took me about 3 hours I'm sorry I havent posted the directions yet I've been busy it is easy if you take your time. My pass. axle popped out but went right back in bt I have heard horror stories of them taking hours to get back in. My sugestion to keep them in is too use zip ties to hold everything up.
