i've seen the install instructions for a rear spring/shock combo...but if I just want to
reverse my perches on my KWs, what's involved to do that?
would i just simply take the bottom bolt off the shock and try to pull the rear springs out with the perches? that would be the easiest solution i think...and on the driver side, i assume that i would have to take the headlight leveling gadget off as well.
any insight to the easiest route i should take...would be highly appreciated.
thx!

Yep, that's pretty much it >>>>
Why not try putting it together without the adjuster? It'll only take a minute to try. Don't bother hooking up the sway or the shox. Put the spring in like the stock ones with all of the rubber, top and bottom, and drop the car onto it's wheels. Roll it back and forth to help it settle out a little and see where the ride height winds up. It'll be low for sure, but it might be right where you want it. There's no law that says the adjuster HAS to be in there... and if this works, you're saved machining, etc.

yup did mine a couple of days ago
Take the one bolt off the bottom of the rear shock/swaybar link, move them out of the way. Push down on the rear link (watch the headlight adjuster on the driver's side) and pull the spring and perch out. I'd flip and leave the perch in. It'd be too low without it. Plus the spring may move without it. Reverse the step above to get it back in. I raised the rear link with my floorjack to help line up the bolt for the shock/swaybar link. Makes it easier as it's easy to strip.
