door popers are really easy too. which kit did u get. im lookin to get another kit.

installing stepshaver kit (assuming its ecc kit) is straight forward as well...u jsut have to use a bit of common sense and imagination to brace it.

when i comes to suspension.....1, how are ur welding skills? 2, how are ur welding skills? 3, jsut because u can weld, doest mean u can do suspensions.

just do ur research before u cut up your ride. call up ur local airride shop and ask for some advice and tips for installing airride. most are willing to help out alot over the phone.

-door poppers
-shave everything
