Ok I am getting pissed with these stupid springs........
Does anyone have a spring compressor that is already cut so the rod doesn't hit the crossmember, or know what length of pipe works so you don't hit the crossmember with the rod? I'm using a 4.5 inch pipe as a spacer. Might need to go further. If anyone has an OTC compressor I'd be thrilled if they'd lend it to me. I don't care what you do, just using the jack and the weight of the car can't be done without an engine in there. It simply can't be done. I have a couple inches to go and the car starts lifting too. Even with Pro Kit springs this can't be done without a compressor when there is no motor in the car. The OTC compressor would get the job done in probably less than an hour for both springs, but it costs 200 bucks and not worth it for what might be a one time deal. I am tempted to try the compressor that has a claw and put the claw on the bottom of the spring pocket of the a arm. Compress the spring and A arm together if that will get it done.
