Question autosprings install

Can anyone recommend an installer for the autosprings 2.5" leveling kit on an '05 F150? I am in McKinney, 30 miles north of Dallas.

Any particular reason why you don't want to do it yourself? I just did a 6" Fabtech suspension lift on my own. Just take your time and I don't see you having any problems.

I did my own but any decent mechanic should be able to do it in 1-2 hours.

-TXF150- that would be awesome! I just got back from a business trip to the east coast, hence why I have not responded sooner. I'll pm you, and we can set it up.

Looks like PM is disabled, and your privacy settings prevent email. If you still offering the help (which is very cool), you can email me, and we can work out the details.

I installed my own and would say that anyone with half of a brain could do it without much problem. On the other hand, the Pro Comp Add-A-Leaf that I installed was a total PITA! I had to drop the exhaust and gas tank just to remove the leaf springs. I should have paid to have someone do it.

Mine just got delivered. It says that I will need an impact wrench to remove the lower strut assembly bolt (30mm one). Is this true or can you do it by using ratchet?

Would it be possible for someone to take pictures of the following so that I know which is which after I remove the tire...

1. Lower swaybar link attached to lower control arm.
2. Lower strut assembly bolt.
3. Upper control arrm to spindle

Thanks,
