nice write up. 5hrs total is pretty fast. i spent 2-3 hrs just on rear, by myself though.
could you tell us how you got your Front struts in the spindle? like you said, there were many posts of people having trouble getting them in.
were you able to do the fronts by yourself, or did you have a second hand to help you install?
i wonder what size tires/wheels will fit in your new setup.
