One other thing, are renting spring compressors from the local Kragen Auto worth it to make this an easier job?


Nah. Once you disconnect the brake line, shocks and panhard bar the axle can be lowered enough for the springs to fall out <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Spring compressors would be really awkward to use with the springs on the truck. I've only ever used compressors on coilover setups off the car.

This job is a snap Ray. Is Michael helping out? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
