I don't know if anyone like me was unhappy with the stance on the rear end. I went to my ford dealership and they said they wanted 250. an hr. They said it called for roughly 8 hrs or so to do it, so i went to my local mechanic. Pro care auto in Mission Viejo Ca. Jim is an honest business owner, he said he would only charge me for the hrs. it would take them, not the hours it says in the mechanic book/computer that shops use. I'm happy with the outcome, it rides about the same, you can feel the rearend a little harder, but it doesn't sway sideways when you go over on uneven roads. Springs cost around 400 and change.

How many hours did it take the shop to put the new springs in?

4 hrs. But the dealer had said it would take 8ish hrs or so, at 250 hr. It would have been around 2k. Like I said my mechanic is an honest business man. He only charged me for 4 hrs. And definitely not 250 an hr.

The rear height stands at almost 54 inches from the ground to the top lip of the tail gate. I didn't measure the front as the Eibach kit said .9 in front and 3 rear end. I didn't get to measure before and after, but happy with the outcome. A little sturdier all around, but not going side to side anymore when you go over uneven road sections on the freeway when you are going 70 plus an hr.
