- i just bought the complete 5lug suspension with front disc and rear drums.
- i bought it off of a guy parting out a foxbody but he didnt know what car they originally came from.
- my questions are:
1.what would i need to chaange or replace for the swap?
2.how do i take the front and rear springs off?
3.and how long should it take someone neutral experience?

jack the front up as high as you can. Support the car body on jackstands, like under the subframe rails at the front corners of the doors.
Place a jack under a control arm, compress slightly but don't lift the car off the jack stand.
Take off the front wheels.
unbolt the ti-rods, sway bar end links, and the strut bolts. Remove the strut, lower the jack, the spring will practically fall out now.
repeat for other side.
when installing the springs, make sure you orient the pigtail at the bottom/control arm side so it sits in the groove correctly.
the rear end is pretty self explanatory what you need to do to swap it.
