was given some eibach 1-1.5 rear lowering springs. Was going to throw them on, is there a write up or is it as simple as lowering the axle and popping them in? Thanks!

Easy as pie, it literally only takes about 20 minutes.

I didnt have to unbolt the shocks. I let the rearend hang and used a pry bar to get the stock ones out. Then I put the lowering springs on and with a little bit of prying and they fell right in.
i just let the rear hang and positioned myself under the spring so that i could push up and it came right out. i'm not a huge guy so it shouldn't be too hard for anyone else.

Center the jack under the pumpkin and lift very high
then put 2 jack stands under the rear frame rails not the diff.
Remove jack slowly and move aside or leave under if you want
go inside car and remove the shock nuts, there might be 2 on there
then go back under car and remove the shock bolts to the rearend
install new ones in reverse order
lift rearend back up and remove jackstands and lower car
all done, 30 mins tops
Cool, ill give it a shot tonight then. Thanks guys
Just be careful to not have your face in front of the spring as you remove it. If there is any tension on it whatsoever, there is always the chance that it could pop out at you.
I undid the lower shock mounts, and dropped the rear end down till there was no tension whatsoever on the springs. They just lifted right out, and installation was just as easy.

Exactly...why wouldn't you just go through the trouble of undoing two nuts to remove any possibility of having an issue? I don't want anything slamming me in the face under there...this car fights me enough as is.

How hard is installing rear springs?
