    Installing rear springs...

    Springs and shocks that is. In this case it's an '06 Magnum R/T.
    Any tips, tricks or concerns?

    There's a write up on this I think might be useful to look at. Maybe someone else has some extra information as well. But it might be a good place to start.

    I've done it by lowering the rear cradle. It took about 1.5 hours to swap spring and shocks.

    Looks pretty straight forward.

    I think I can handle that!

    If you're doing the lower arm bolt method, reverse the bolt when putting back together. If you have to do it again, the exhaust won't be in the way.

    Same here. 70-90 mins. The 2 short forward subframe bolts will come out, the longer rear bolts can be loosened but stay threaded in the body to keep the subframe located (saves hunting for the holes for the front bolts when re-installing). You don't need to touch the exhaust.

    Good luck!
