It's a piece of cake! If you can use simple hand tools and have access to a decent spring compressor, it should be a breeze. I've done both my WS6s and my Z28 with no issues. Really easy!!! I believe someone posted a tutorial around here somewhere with step-by-step instructions if you run into any snags. Good luck with it!

I did mine and I'm no mechanic by any stretch. My instructions said not to use air tools to compress the springs. They are crazy, it took me forever to crank that stupid spring compressor by hand. After the first one I switched to air tools and it was a breeze.

Only problem I ran into was the rusted front passenger side nut, but after getting that cut off it was pretty easy. The rears are rediculously easy, I had both spring and shocks swapped on both sides in about half an hour, lol.
