The swap is sorta easy and fast. i removed the top of the shock and the top coil keeper and the bottom 1 1/8 nut on the retainer. i then dropped the jack and removed the coil.

|
|
Here is the new coil in the pass side and bolted in. i still need to secure the shock.

Final measure after the springs were installed....almost 43 inches on the drivers side.
