lowering spring install question

I will be installing 3" lowering springs on my 08 soon. Who's done it? Seems pretty straight forward, remove struts, compress, remove, reinstall, put it back together. I did controll arms and flip kit on my 04 so I'm not worried, just looking for advice if needed. 3 hours??

its a pain since you end up having to compress and decompress 4 springs. Takes alot of time wrenching on the spring compressors.

struts come out easy tho, i can have them out in about 10 minutes per side

The alignment shop had to elongate the slots for my LCA bolts for my 2" front coil drop. I can imagine they'll have to do the same for his.

I previously ran 3" belltech springs and the instructions said to open them up the 1/2".
