3800 GMPP Suspension

[stixx]

For you guys that have installed the GMPP Suspension package, how difficult was the install? I dont have a spring compressor or air tools, so Im trying to determine if I should just pay a shop to do it.

I had a knowledgable club member do mine seeing how I couldn't afford more than a couple hours of downtime and other than the fact the bolts holding in my existing strut/springs were pretty well rusted on (use plenty of PB blaster) I remember it being straighforward procedure. Unless you have arms like Shaq you'll need 2 guys to get the back ones in. No spring compressor or air tools are needed but they'd make things quicker for sure. Two semi competent guys could do it in a day with hand tools or you could ask if Ron V has time. I remember he did it for a couple guys in the past.

Cake. I did mine in two hours, that includes swaping out coils to Eibachs too. Although I did do it on a lift at work with air tools.
It's not hard give it a shot!

yeah I did mine in the freezing cold in November. We did it in 2 hours without air tools, just some wrenches and a breaker bar. We were also swapping struts/springs, so we could have been done sooner. Don't pay anyone to do it, even someone with intermediate skills can figure this one out!

Thanks for the feedback guys. Its now a question of the GMPP or TOG's. I guess there are worse problems I could have

If you have to choose between TOGs or GMPP I'd go for the suspension. It's such a HUGE upgrade over stock and even better than the Koni/Eibach setup I replace with them.
