was this a quick-strut assembly? Or do we have to find a way to compress the springs onto each strut

they are not quick struts . you have to use spring compressor to install the new ones.

you will have to compress the spring to switch out the strut. Very simple...Go to Autozone and get a spring compresser. They will rent it to you for as long as you need. Hopefully your spring is in good shape and you can just reuse it. Remember to pump the strut a couple of time before assembly.

You have to compress. You can get a free loaner from nearly any major autopart store.

I did it mainly by myself in about 2.5 hours. Putting the springs on is a lot of work because there are about 90 of them and they require hand strength to use the tool they supply. After that you put on the mesh surround and it's helpful to have someone else help pull it into place but I did it in the cold and believe it would have been a one person job in warmer temps.

I don't recall any significant assembly. If there was any, it was very minor.

It was a PITA. You have to make sure all the screws are half way in to assemble it. That way you can still maneuver the legs as a units to make sure they are inserted properly in the top frame.

I really wouldn't know because I never tried to do that. Maybe I don't have enough knowledge to disassemble the sight and put those springs. Sorry.

Yes it is however, the spring doesn't have as much tension as factory. Just makes it a little bit simpler to fold but had no effect and looks and functions the same. Installed myself with a little Google and common tools took about 45 min.

Not difficult, just make sure you hold things together so the spring doesn't do flying! Only takes a couple minutes.

HI, this is just the strut. No springs. This is not a loaded strut. Thank you!

No. I bought one of the metal frames and set it on that. Seems to me that box springs are an outdated concept.

There was enough spring in the uprights, just pull them apart. Put the cross bar in one end and push on it while pulling on the other upright.

This article includes a single strut or a couple. Please answer if you are sure, because previous answers are contradictory. thank you.

I would say yes. They bolt on the top of the struts so no need to mess with spring compressors. I did the install on my own and it was a pretty easy fit. Be much easier with two people though.

No, the bracket above the spring will need to face the opposite direction for the other side so a different strut will be required for each side.

The instructions in the manual should make it clear. I remember I had to use a little force with the springs.

Hi, and thanks for your interest in our kits. These parts are mounted on top of the struts and springs rather than replacing the factory ones. I hope this is helpful.

It is simple to put together. The most difficult part (and it's not that difficult) is to install the hydraulics. If I recall need to remove spring.
