    drop front struts, need spring compressors, borrow some good ones or you may lose a finger, rears are very easy, raise body, undo shocks springs slip out and in. If the cut springs are short enough you wont need compressors as they may be same lenth as the progressive rate SLV8 springs I assume you have. The Kings look like the standard height against stock but dont worry, they slip in the struts, replace cartridges if you can afford it at same time. A rattle gun really helps to undo and redo the top shockie nut on the front. I learnt hard way, be carefull, loaded springs like to take off when you undo top nut. They made my VH handle like a go-kart and yes they passed pits, so long as you dont reduce your travel by more than a 1/3. Good luck, watch your fingers, I do a lot for friends, I bet you got quote to fdit them hey?

    if you have fuel problems with starting, block off return, works like a charm as the pressure sensors always go screwy
