Is there a reason you want to do all that work and spend so much more time to just replace ball joints?

He is doing this because the daily driver has the 3300 lb front axle. So how is it going Alan??

 

HEY PHIL, I'M DOING GREAT. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO COMPRESS SPRINGS SO I CAN REMOVE COMPLETE FRONT SUSPENSION AS A UNIT. I'M NOT IGNORING YOU I JUST DECIDED TO DO THIS HERE AT HOME AND GET TO KNOW THIS RIG A LITTLE BETTER. I THINK I SHOULD'VE RETITLED MY POST "WHAT SPRING COMPRESSIOR TO USE ON FRONT SUSPENSION " ARE YOU GOING TO MOPAR @ THE ROCK ON THE 14 th.? I'M GOING TO TRY AND MAKE IT DOWN AT LEAST FOR DRAGS. I ALSO HAVE FOUND A TQ FROM DUNRITE AND I TALKED TO THEM THE OTHER DAY AND THEY TOLD ME IT WILL WORK IN MY TRANS. IT'S 4-5 yrs. OLD BUT BRAND NEW!! IT WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT FOR MOTOR HOME APPLICATION. I STILL WANT YOU TO DO TRANS FOR ME.

 

Alan,

Make it easy on yourself, separate the upper control arms from the bottom and then just keep jacking up the truck and the springs will come out!! Yes, I am going to the ROCK, I'm gonna run the old girl!! No prob, sounds good to me!!
