    I found some special spring compressors that are designed and tested to handle over 700lb springs.

    Used them to compress my coilover springs so I could lower the collars.

    If positioned evenly and tighten in small equal intervals these work well.
    You are more than welcome to use them. I would even give you a hand.

    Yeah, that's what I need them for. I know one of my c/o has a fair amount of preload on it, but I'm trying to remove that stress, not add more.
