    I rather get the spring compressor than do what you tried.... :bananadead:

    Especially if the springs are preloaded....

    LOL That's the sad part.. we own a spring compressor, it's just a pain in the ass... the stiffer springs make the damn thing flex

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    I've used the floor jack method more times than I can count. If you do it correctly and have all your safeties in place, there is very minimal risk. If you want me to walk you through it, call or text me, I'd be more than happy to lead you in the right direction. When is it that you are planning to do this?

    If you had magnets you could just throw them at the truck and hope they stick.
