Can someone tell me the roundabout time needed for the installation of REAR COIL SPRING SPACERS and TORSION KEYS for my 2005 H2 ?

If all goes well with a helping amount of spray lubricant, the torsion key install can easily be done in Under 1 hour as long as you have the special tool.

To install the coil spring spacers is Under 30 mins.

You could easily do this in your driveway! Just need a jack and some stands and the J-tool for the torsion bar!
