I have an off brand also - Drop Zone, they get a bad rep too but I like them :) Mine are 2" also.

The springs are only hard to figure out the first time you do them - I was scared to death of the spring compressor the first time I ever put on springs (it was on my Nissan) because I was convinced they were going to snap somehow and the springs were going to go through whatever they were pointed at (I made sure that my dogs were locked on the farthest side of the house because I was told it could go through your walls LOLLL my guy friends told me that crap to scare me) it took me like 3 solid hours (and that was with the step by step instructions and my trusty Haynes manual), but it was worth it in the end.

.... and I learned I don't have to be so paranoid and that it isn't going to go be like a rocket going through your house if they do come off the compressor; but still don't let them point at you haha
