Default 4th gen HBS level kit
I got the HBS level kit I'm installing tomorrow. Any pointers are short cuts? The instructions say to separate the upper ball joint which I can see but the does the tie rod need to be? Also the strut drops out after the lower and upper 3 bolts are out or does the spring need to be compressed to get it out?

I like to know before I get into it. THis is my first tome obviously since I got it in Jan. I have torn apart my suspension 3 times on my car and on others over the years just new to a 4th gen Ram.

I'm no help here, but if you do need to compress the spring after you drop the strut, nylon rachet straps can be used. I've compressed springs using one on each side of the spring. Good luck and post pictures.
