    I need a shop in southern D/FW that has a spring compressor that can swap my Fox 13" 600lb. springs to King 14" 650lb springs on my Fox 2.5 C/O's. I don't need them to remove or replace the C/O on the truck, just swap the springs when I bring them the C/O's & new springs.
    What shop does this?
    Cost?
    Thanks!

    Tandem Off-road is the go-to shop for all things Toyota/Lexus off-road in DFW .

    They've moved a bit out of reach for me (I live in Waxahachie).

    They're super cool dudes and their work is nothing short of fantastic. I drive from Cleburne. It's worth the drive. But if the coilovers are already off the truck, pretty much any shop can do it. I had mine done at a tire shop one time. They charged $50 per side.

    Do you have one of those heavy duty coil spring machines?

    I don't have the "machines" but I have a compressor that works for springs up to 14kg/mm.

    I'm not ballsy enough to do that. I hate those things! I'm going to measure how compressed my springs are now and see if I can do it without a spring compressing machine. I doubt I can but we'll see.
