    how did you do this yourself?? i'm pretty sure you need a spring compressor to do that...most of the time your general service repair shops will have them but if you did this...in say....your garage....please explain....

    i didnt use a compressor either.the springs are pretty stiff but,all i can explain it best is that we sat the shock on the ground (vertically) put the spring on the shock.made sure it sat right,put the top plate on top of the spring and made sure that it was sitting right,then my friend held the shock and spring while I pushed down hard with my hulk arms :lol: .if it was straight then he would hurry and screw the nut on so i dont have to hold it down any longer,i have to say they are some pretty stiff springs but we got them on.only took us about 30-40 minutes.we was working with a flashlight too just to be abe to see what we was doing,lol.
