so what are u guys gonna do when the sun goes down? i mean, these installs will surely take longer than 1.5 hours... especially if the tools are being used by more than a few ppl. I have something i wanna do, but it would take at least a few hours and some constant dremel use...

For a hole that big use one of <a href="http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00998995000P?keyword=3+hole+saw&vNam e=Tools&cName=Power+Tool+Accessories&sName=Drill+B its">these</a>.
Hole saws don't cut the cleanest hole so I would probably use a 3-1/4 and then clean it up, if it's going to be visible.
Also, I have a Dremel circle cutting attachment that will work on a flat surface. Looks like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HI5WTY?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=nextag-tools-tier4-20&linkCode=asn">this</a> if that would help.

that hole saw is perfect... i'll have to pick one of those up. they attach right onto a power drill, right? i'll get the 3.25 and widen the hole using a dremel...

So are you coming too? Let me know, I'll bring my dremel anyways, but I doubt it'll work for what youre trying to do.

Hopefully we can do the springs quick. As long as we we get the fronts done quick we should be good since the rears are easy.

Eric, PM me your address!

The day has finally come...

I am going to try to get the impact wrench and I'll grab a jack and jack stands too.

Erik - Do you have 2x4s at your place? Can someone bring some if they have them laying around?

Is there anything else we need? Do we need instructions or do you guys know exactly what bolts to remove, etc...

And to help out anyone new that is coming, here is a list of names:

Username | Real Name
1. Virtualbong | WIL
2. Hi-Tech_G | Erik
3.

Yep, it just fits on a drill. You'll need a <a href="http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00998985000P?vName=Tools&cName=Power +Tool+Accessories&keyword=dewalt+mandrel">mandrel</a> to go with it unless you can find an all in one.

Spring install instructions I had bookmarked:
