I know I should leave this to the pros here. I have not had my W that long, and have not installed the progressive springs. With those caveats in mind, some thoughts on your question #2: I did install

I used to be not brave enough to do it either but the last few new autos/trucks (the dubya also) I've bought got this treatment....the last one started at 2 miles on the odometer. These engines are
