Basically you need to "snug" up your suspenson but do not tighten it untill you have a load on the suspension. I was lucky and did mine on an allignment rack. This made getting to everything pretty easy. I would think if you have your car supported with jackstands that you could use a floorjack to load your springs.

I can't find the exact thread(s) but if you d a search you will find at least a couple that talk about everything to do and look out for when installing springs.

If I find it I'll link you

I have eibach pro's and the front is lower than the back, you may get a slight rub too if you hit any holes in the road a thigh speed

roll the fenders means the lip gets bent in a bit with a roller that is made for this purpose... this is standard for any oversize wheels- you can rent fender rollers usually.

Using a floor jack, would you just place it under the shock assembly and just raise it a bit and then tightening the bolt on top? Is this the only bolt that is of concern or are there others?

Thanks!
