Strut turning

Does a spring compressor need to be used to turn the struts 120 degrees for the fat bobs kit?

I seem to vaguely remember that another 5 lugger owner here said he never used a spring compressor tool.

 

i havent heard of anyone needing a compressor because the spacer goes on top of the strut not the spring and you slightly turn it to line up with the holes on the bucket

 

I understand that the spacer goes on top of the spring, but what I don't understand how to rotate the strut so I can remount the lower part to the control arm. I'm guessing the brake line can remount without a problem.
Has anyone run into any brake lines being too short after the lift.

 

I used a compressor.

 

use the compressor put the lift on and lets see some pics
