    I'm pretty sure I saw them at my local Ace, but I'm sure inventories vary by locations.

    Where in Reno can I go to get springs put onto my Kings. 4WP wants $300 just to put the springs on if I bring the Coilovers in, and they are smoking that good crack if they think thats a fair price.

    I'm going to also need subsequent spring compressions and pre-load adjustments. Looked into a compressor but I don't feel like paying $500 for one. Unless it's going to cost that much for 2 trips to a shop then I guess I'll buy one. This is for 700LB springs. So we are talking 1400-2000 pounds while I am adjusting preload.

    dude, I know a guy who has the SPC coil tools, I can PM him and he usually shares it, ships it out to people and the next person who needs it, ships it them and so on. I have used it to swap my coils to 700s. fuck the shop, just do it yourself its super easy.

    That's the standalone ones, I've used those before but only for cars. Charging $300 for 20 minutes of work is a joke.

    I just installed my coilovers with just the weight of the front, no compression tool needed.

    Allegedly with the 700LB springs on the Kings you cant adjust preload without compressing them. "allegedly" I do see conflicting info on that.

    Pretty sure the springs come preloaded from factory. All you really need to do is adjust for height preference. It doesn't soften or stiffen the springs.
