I had no problem when I had these on my car. I have longtubes and true duals, among other things. You could run into problems if you go any lower.

DO IT YOURSELF! its seriously not hard. the back is 30 minutes and the front prob 1hr and a half. and thats not trying to rush and just taking your time. u can get away from compressing the rear springs just un bolt the shock and the rear will drop the extra inch u need to get the spring out then bolt it back in. u will need the spring clamps up front but those are $20 at discount. i dont know what shocks you have but i ran the factory bilsteins with the lg springs in my car for a year and it rode just fine. actually a lot nicer than the qa1's i have now.

if you wanna save yourself the worry, just take the springs and struts to a local shop..throw them 20 bucks and i bet they would do both front ones for you. i just dont trust those "at home" spring compressors. ive seen the professional ones fail.

and if you dont have any money at all then maybe you souldnt do it right now..you WILL need an alignment. my camber was like 1.5 degrees off without the alignement. that will eat a tire up quickly

I LOVE lowered fbodys. see sig link! lol

and the rears take about 15 minutes to change out. the fronts require a compressor that you can borrow or rent for the day. its an easy home garage install

throwing 20 dollars into a tire shop's hands is not a bad idea either.
