RRM Drop Spring Pics
The aluminum fuel door is a factory option, some have 'em some don't.
As for rolling the fenders, it all depends on the wheels you get, stock should be fine. Wider will likely require a roll.

My shop would be myself. I am pretty sure it is done right. Not much to it really. I don't know what I could have done to make it end up lower than it should be. I also had the supervision of a mechanic uncle. I had no issues during the install and it seems to ride just fine. I had to wait three extra weeks for the springs to come in since RRM said they were out of stock and were waiting for a new batch. Maybe this batch is slightly different than the last.

It took about 3 hours. Once the tires are removed it is obvious what needs to be done. The only specialized tool required is a spring compressor (about 20 bucks). An impact is useful but not necessary. Once the strut is out, just compress the spring and remove the 1 nut that secures the end of the strut. Just put it together the way it came apart. Simple.

cool, thanks. i might try this out. my robispec springs are too stiff for the roads around here, so i might decide to go back to stock.

Did you do the alignment yourself too?

The ride is still decent. I would not want it any rougher for a DD though. Disregarding pot holes and railroad crossings its not much less comfortable that stock. I have noticed a big improvement with cornering. If I didn't have to turn the wheel, I would forget I wasn't going straight!
