I did mine over the weekend too. Man what a wonderful difference. It's like a new car! And with the firmer suspension my 5eat feels 10X better without the bobbing and diving I was getting on the old shot stock suspension.
I've got 2 "oops" issues, and I don't know if I'll need to tear the rears apart to fix this.
1. I have an extra washer on the top of the inside of both rear shocks. After pulling the stock struts out I forgot the order the washer was in and made a bad guess. I put the stock washer that was on top of the top hat between the stock nut UNDER the tophat and then put the new koni nut and lock washer on top of the tophat. Does that make sense? Anyway I haven't noticed any noises yet, but is this potentially an issue? I have tons of thread left up top, so that's not an issue, but have I reduced my travel? Or just raised my car 1/16 of an inch in back? If I raised it a little bit I could care less, if anything I'm happy to gain any ground clearance I can.
2. I didn't double check my left rear spring after I loosened the compressors and the bottom of the spring is now sitting 1/2" away from where it should sit on the perch. What are the risks of leaving it like this and will it find it's way to the right place or should I try to compress it on the car and rotate it a little bit?
Other than that, thanks to this thread, install was very smooth and I didn't spend a lot of time cussing or kicking things.
Pipe cutter was definitely worth the 22 bucks to me. Since the cut doesn't have to be perfectly straight, a hacksaw or saws all would do the job just fine, but it's nice to look at it and say "man that's a clean cut."
