Just as the title reads...Does my 2000 2wheel have retaining clips on the front springs? My gut says yes but I cannot get enough light in there to see.

Asking because Ive got a hold of some spacers and thought id put them to use. When I drop the lower arm the spring still has plenty of compression So Naturally I compressed the spring and tried again to drop the lower arm to release the spring and still no go...whats the deal?

 

I don't think they do. I don't remember any when I was putting mine in.

 

no they do not.

 

Wern't any on my truck! The shocks hold them in.

 

thanks dudes, so its simply a matter of disconnecting front equipment and dropping lower arm?

 

Thats it. Just don't get hit in the face with the coil. That'll hurt.

 

Yeah be VERY careful letting that coil out. It's under a LOT of compression.

 

I'm guessing a compressor would be very helpful then huh? Once its compressed ill run a chain through it and a lock so it won't be able to 'undo'.

 

Yeah a compressor or just being careful when you let the arm drop. I didn't use a compressor on mine. Was just patient and moved slowly.

 

just put a jack under the control arm and lower slowly.
