My commander looks cool in the parking lot, but pieced together bull-crap courtesy of the previous owner makes it ride like a covered wagon. Struts were shot, shocks were blown and strut spacers were STACKED 
It was not cool.
Old Man Emu paid me a visit, I used Rocky road outfitters lift. It took a long time to get here, but is a good setup
disassembling struts with only one set of hands is no fun. Also, most parts store compressors don't fit big springs so I had to use a bunch of safety wire since the safeties on the tool didn't fit over the springs.
Muscling the struts into and out of place while working the wrench with the other hand is tough as well, but I eventually got it.
Back should be super easy, but as I suspected previous owner had rallied the crap out of my commander, so the upper spring bucket bolt was torn out of the frame/body. A little grinding and welding got that sorted and it went back together quickly.
This car has pissed me off the whole time I've owned it, but now we've bonded and I think we can move on. Stock commanders = Gay, and now my commander is pretty cool.
