Which coil spring compressor?

Justafordguy · Jul 16, 2012

What coil spring compressor should I buy for a mid perch adjustment? I rented one from a parts store but it just broke as soon as I put pressure on it. :shocked:

I was literally fixing to ask the same question.

Go to another parts store, that one has been abused. There are some really cool ones on e bay but $ 600 or so. Or take off shock n go to a shop with the big stand type compressor.

I've seen the really big stand type but don't really want to spend the $600 and don't have the extra room in my shop. Any smaller ones that are strong enough?

Here is a start:
ToolTopia.com - Search

I have used Tooltopia for years and usually get next-day service in Texas.

I finally found a decent spring compressor and did the Mid Perch on my truck. I really like the way it drives and looks.

The compressor I ended up with is a OEM 25550 Strut Spring Compressor. It was less than $50 on Amazon and is really well made.

Nice shot of the Bronco as well! I like it, New school/Old school!
Any pics of the tool you used?

Here is the link to the tool on Amazon.

I bought two pairs of the OEM compressors. Changed the top part out of one coilover, and adjusted the perch on another with no issues.

Would one set be fine to do the mid perch adjustment or should I order two sets?
