how hard is it to install shocks and springs, and is there a cheap shop that anyone knows of?

it'll take you 4-8 hours your first time most likely. If you have a Helms there is a guide in it. Otherwise find the new spring install on the saved Ntpog.org. All you need are run of the mill tools, a pittman arm puller and a spring compressor. There really isn't anything technically challenging.

Well, in that case, if you want to drive out to mesquite, I'll do it for $100. I'm sure anyone else in the club would do the same. I'm not joking when I say that it isn't very difficult.

It's not hard at all. Just take a couple of hours...I've done a few cars already including my own

I'm not sure, I might just spring the 100 bucks and get it done, but I'm gonna look at all the stuff to see what exactly needs to be done and now i need to find some good used springs and shocks
