front wasnt too bad, maybe 1.2 hours at most. Tires came off, drivers side was a tad easier to get the spring back in, passenger side took some muscle and I probably will have pulled something by tomorrow with those awkward angles lying on the floor. Did NOT need to undo any brake lines or anything for this tiny lift.
btw, fitment was flawless. the spacers are a lot heavier than they look. Perfect fit, jiggle it a bit to make sure its all centered up. didnt remember the torques for the lower shock mount and sway bar end links so i just did my best guesses.. 80 ft lb on shock bolt, 70 ft lb on end links.. probably too much torque everywhere...
so are the rears easier or harder to install than the fronts, as far as getting the spring out and brake line issues?

installed just the front so far. I'll install the back tomorrow. Only using half my front spacers, so I'll prob sell the other new set for a tiny discount or something..
