He'll still need to decompress and take apart his stockers if he want to use the top spring perches, and all the little washers and bolts.

Although it's very easy, if you've never done it before don't try it, you could kill yourself.

we never used spring compressors, we just aim the top shock to a garbage can or bucket and loosen the top bolt and BOOM!! pick up all the pieces in the bucket.
Actually there is a safer way but less exciting by popping the shock while it is still in the car, anyways just do it yourself.

Ha! I did that and I thought my friend's car blew up. It was like a shotgun going off. Remind me never to do that again....I get scared easily.
