Its a spring compressor, but goes inside the spring rather than outside like a "strut" compressor, got it from Auto Zone. Miracle worker.

 

Literally lol'd.

 

@rjsimz
Do this

 

They are, I started messing around with ratchet straps, then remembered that I had seen that guy last time I was in and ran out to grab. Works very well compared to most rental tools.

 

I will be swapping my coils next weekend. Im dropping the coilover assembly at the shop, I don't want to deal with spring compressors. Period.

 

Have you heard of the method where you use the truck as the compressor? Basically put a jack under the lca, unbolt the lca from the spindle, undo the single bolt up top, and lower the lca to uncompress the coil. It's an extremely easy process.

 

That does't work with coilovers.

 

Coilovers for sure, never going to use a cheap one again. Rear springs are much lower rate and this one felt pretty safe.

 

Ah, didn't realize you were talking about adjustable coilovers.

 

At 575 a light? Nuh uh

 

Any 4th gens have any extra suspension components laying around? My bro replaced his 100 series with a 4th gen 4Runner and looking out for deals for him

 

i have 90% of my stock shit besides LCAs

 

GTFO of here unless you're selling me your LT kit

 

Just shit my pants.

 

Convince @LTDSC to go full LT

 

Do you not have bump stops? That kind of compressor wouldn't work for mine because I'd never get it out once the spring was in place.

It's just a game... don't mess up!

 

He just needs a basic kit. Billies on all corners and some 885 OME springs

 

I do, superbumps on the axle and the cone inside the spring. I think it might work for you, the whole thing disassembles, the bottom piece is slotted, and the top has hooks on hinges. You can offset the "bolt" down the center as well.

 

I tried it when I swapped my coils and it didn't work. I think because the air bumps are bigger
