Not too bad to change out. but I ended up w/a 4" lift which they wore me down into accepting. My 500.00 shocks would have fit a 2" lift but I had to buy new ones to fit a 4" lift. I thought I was getting custom springs, NOT!! They said initially that they knew what I had as they are experts and they do this all the time. Also that they designed those springs back in like "84 or "92 and were not about to redesign something just for me. I just ended up excepting what I got and the extra work. Conclusion; If you order a 2" lift from ORD you will get a 4" lift and 56" springs for the back regardless of the fact that you gave them the specs for 52" rear springs. And I really don't feel like I have improved my ride much,and not 3K worth. I wish I would have gone somewhere else. Hope this helps.
Yikes, hate to hear that I had good thoughts about them after speaking with Jesse but I think custom springs may be too much for me anyway.

They did mention even if I go 2.5" that I would need another rear shackle sounds like thats what you ran into but without warning.
