[QUOTE="BenBB, post: 1277975, member: 20185"] All of these guys are spot on; low perch stock spring just pull the shock and impact off the nut. Cheapy/borrowed sticks are probably ok if you don't have/use an impact for low perch stock spring on both removal and installation; mid or higher perch or Geiser springs and you might find out why they call them "widowmakers" (probably a lot less of a hazard if you have the shock removed than if trying to use them to mid perch while on the truck). I ran into the same issue, local shops wanted $80 a pop to pull them off, same price to put them back on. **** that. Ebay compressors like [URL="https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Coil-Spring-Compressor-6600-LBS-Auto-Strut-Hydraulic-Tool/372220200351?epid=20009602103&hash=item56aa0d859f%3Ag%3AJScAAOSw57xagO6t&_sacat=0&_nkw=hydraulic+spring+compressor&_from=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC0.A0.H0.Xhydraulic+spring+compressor.TRS0&LH_TitleDesc=0"]this one[/URL] worked perfect for a third of the price and will easily handle mid perch, top perch, Giesers, maybe 3.0's I dunno.
