Hey guys,
I have my 07 Apex RTX rear skid out and all rebuilt, now I need to install the rear springs. How is this accomplished??? Can it be done on the bench? I can frame off a musclecar but man do these springs confuse me.

49 views and no replies?? must be a shy bunch or the question I asked was to stupid to reply to! I thought that maybe I was overlooking something simple since I had no replies and here it is...I did not know that there was a left and right side spring
I had tried earlier to put the LH on the RH. Everything is back together now

I did not understand the question to be honest when I first read it....
do you mean you have to re-install the springs on the shocks? Or do you have to re-install the shocks in the skid? Or are you talking re-installing the torsion springs into the rear skid?

since its an RTX its the dual shock suspension with torsion springs. I leave them hang to install the skid then use a prybarr and carefully get en lined up after the skid is in... Hope that helps. have done it on the bench too but having them off helps a lot with getting the rear skid holes lined up. Good luck
