does anyone have experience installing or re-installing stock suspension? i heard a lot about the front springs giving people trouble. any help on what to do to release some tension so i can get the stock springs back in?

no problem, and i agree on the coil compressors. Once the coil is compressed i would think you could take the shock out just like taking out the stock shock

I went from stock to low, low back to stock, then stock back to low, then low back to stock, now I'm sitting with stock front an 2" low in the rear! Haven't had any issues other than one rear shock squeaking a little. As long as you know what you are doing, or have a shop that does in my case, you should be fine. :)

the drop is just extremely un-useful. i have 37 acres of land in east texas and a boat that we take out almost every weekend, and it is a bumpy road.
