I think the springs are all the same.. EXCEPT for the awd version. At least they are when you are looking up lowering springs. Not super hard to do.. but a second set of hands putting it back together is a godsend. I spent a good 10-15 minutes trying to get it seated up there all by myself.. you can't see the bolt holes when you lift it back up! Ugh!

Did do a write up on it over year ago, will try to find it, easy DIY just a couple of tricks .
