Help with Mopar Lowering Springs

I just purchased a set of mopaer Performance Lowering Springs can anybody give me some pointers on installing? I thought I read on here somewhere that the rear is a pain and other say they found an easier way than the instructions says. Any info you can give to make the job easier would be great. Thanks

I don't know of any short-cuts. Dropping rear is still required.
Here is a how-to.

I havn't done it myself. I paid a shop.
Maybe you can rent them. The spring compressor and pickle fork are the most likely tools that would need to be bought/rented.
This thread lists the tools needed for a coil over install.

THose instructions make it seem way harder then it is. Ive never heard of anyone compressing front springs before taking off a strut assembly.
