    That’s pretty much it, said it was more used for cars and lighter springs not truck springs.

    Here’s a sweet wrench that doesn’t go with the expensive shocks you bought


    That’ll be $35

    Went to Napa and bought a 5/16 punch for 10 bucks and i'm gonna try that if I can't find anyone locally to borrow a spring compressor from. I saw someone in forum used an SPC Spring compressor and those run about $160 so i dont wanna have to purchase that.

    I've used heat on Icon collars and it helped in turning them. You could also use a couple ratchet straps and try and take some of the pressure off of them. I think auto parts stores rent cheap compressors that would help alleviate some of the tension.

    Maybe that is how it's supposed to be used instead of using it when there is tension on the collar haha

    Low Range had a video of one that looked long enough to provide a good amount of torque but i can't seem to find it on their website. The one i got from napa seems pretty sturdy but i have yet to test it.

    I have one from Napa, it has worked just fine for me. Especially when used in conjunction with PB Blaster and a longer wrench over the punch to get extra leverage. I think i bent it slightly this last time when i was adjusting, but I believe it was because I did not have the punch fully inserted into the hole.

    Is it the flat black one with the unpainted tip?

    I have been checking all over for a longer one and cant find any at lowes, home depot, or ace but i did see an 8" one made by Starrett (never heard of them) on Amazon i may order it or i may stick with the napa one.

    Yes, I'm fairly certain it is. Its exactly like the Amazon link, but below the handle it's unpainted/greyish. I can't turn it with just the punch. I spray around the collar with PB Blaster, take the round end of a wrench and hook it around the punch...like you would do with two wrenches when you need more leverage. Works great so far. 600lb coils too btw.....
