5100 Install Question on 1st gen

Alright so I have Bilstein 5100s for the front and I'm going to switch my stock coils over to them and set them at 2.5 with an AAL in the back. I'm going to do it pretty soon so I'm trying to figure out what tools I need to do this. Do I need 2 spring compressers or just 1? and is there any other tools I need besides basic tools? thanks

 

Mike, I'm gonna have to steer you over here:

At the top of the first gen fourm, you'll see a sticky thread with tons of links for common mods and maint. issues:

Check these first for answers, then if you get stuck holler for help.

Good luck!

 

You'll need 2 spring compressors. One for each side of the coil you are compressing.

Air tools makes the job much easier.
