First off what he said, or your car can be twisted to, in then you will need to make more measurements like lower front control arm to frame by bumpers to look for sag, same w rear leafs.Measure all 4 corners of car before starting. Cut 1/2 coil at a time. do not fully tighten ball joints, and bounce it and let it settle a few days, unless its a mile in the air, then cut 1/2 coil off. they drop fast. sit in it then and take measurements w a helper there.
good luck, not much fun in spring work but patience pays off in end.
