rear springs are dead easy, the fronts are a bit more involved, but as jobs go they're not too bad
start soaking all the nuts n bolts in wd40 about a week before and do it daily, should hopefully reduce required effort / risk of shearing bolts when you do the job.

agreed! made the mistake of diving straight into my first range rover when i got back from canada. everything was there and wanted it done!
bought a set of spring compressors from halfrauds (just round the corner :roll: )
after grazing every knuckle chipping my tooth and splitting my bottom lip (should of had stitches apparently :-# )
i sheared most of the bolts etc but still did it in a day! :dance: :dance: :dance:
