well i opted to do the drop the axle instead of getting coil compressors, and i had a hell of a time putting them back on mainly because of my passenger side LCA was a pita to put back on it was off by like 3 inches.

Ok so you installed the lift in that time too? I thought you were saying just swapping out the wheels took that long. Anyways though good job man.
