You should try spending 200+ on an order from Auto Detailing Solutions.

Couldn't do it. I MIGHT could pay that much for just beer though.

It doesnt take long. I think when I first got this one I put about 2500 on it in 3-1/2 weeks and then the dealer had it for a month.

Waco twice?

Patrick, have you done the shocks on an 04+? To get the springs out, is it better to knock the ball joint out or take the tie rod off?

I've seen a write-up saying each way. Not sure which is better, and if one is more likely to need an alignment than the other.

I havent no, usually tie rods are easier to pop off. Back the nut loose, and have it on by two threads, then hit on the nut to pop it out.

again if you put everything back together as it was, and dont mess with the tie rod adjustment you shouldnt mess up the alignment you already have

That sounds almost like how you take the ball joint apart. Back off the nut and whack the A arm a couple of times, then the nut if that didn't do it.
