Hey I don't have directions on the install, but you might wanna watch it. I think you'll rub on the 19's since the drop is like 2 inches. It's not a hard install though, just need spring compressors.

u'll need a good torque wrench as well. most bolts on the shock assembly requires torque wrench to tightened/untightened. get a torque wrench that provides you around 150ft/lb.
