alright, so im installing my H&RSprings in the morning, and none of the places around me rent spring compressors....and i *really* dont want to buy one..cause its like 30 bucks..

has anyone gotten away without using one? how so? my friend said something about putting it all together and using a floor jack to compress everything

oh well..i might just suck it up and buy one..and then maybe try to return it

anyone?

 

get a compressor....its safer...trust me..i tried without one just using a block of wood...and things didnt turn out too well

 

Is there an Autozone by you?? You just need to put down a $40 deposit, and you can rent one. You'll get your money back when you return it.

Or if there's a Harbor Freight retail store, you can pick up a spring compressor for about $10.

 

i'd rent one

 

Id personally find some compressors. Loaded springs can be dangerous.

 

or......do it the old fashioned tires on both ends way like how i did it with a wrench...turned out fine for me... good luck...

ps...first one's kinda scary cuz you don't know what to expect but after that they should be faster

 

went i rented one, it was like 30 bucks and u get the money back when u return it.

 

I bought my spring compressor at Advance Auto. $14 + tax. works like a charm everytime.

 

Rent one man, I have a scar between my eyes because I just unscrewed the bolt. **** hurts like a bitch.

 

wow rent one! so much more safer, i mean ur talkin about a huge spring! someone coudl lose an eye if ur not careful. lol or more

 

If you cant find anywhere to rent one, go to a shop and bring all 4 struts with you and your springs and ask one of the techs to swtich them out, just give him a nice tip.

 

i did my springs by hand didnt need a set of compressors i pushed down on them and a friend jumped on my back and a nother put the nut on it took a while but it worked
