replacing stock control arms

[widomkr79]

Recieved my new lowering springs and had no problem with the back but once i got to the front realized i may have gotten in over my head. I thought it would be a great time for my son and i work on my BU but now wandering if i can finish it. So anyway i saw i had to take off the control arms to get the front springs out so i went ahead and ordered BMR control arms and going to try to tackle it this weekend. Planning on keepin the stock spindles. Any experienced advise would be much appreciated.

You didn't need to remove the control arms to get the spring out... 1st off get yourself a good spring compressor, while using a Jack under the lower control arm. Personally I hate doing front springs, can be dangerous, so I use a chain with a lock on the spring to the frame in case the compressor slips, could save you from serious injury
