Need a little help here guys...trying to put in my CSS 2" lift springs, can't seem to get them in.

I have the shocks, springs, brake lines, sway bar, trac bar...everything but the steering and driveshaft loose. I'm still lacking about 1" to getting them in!

Now, these springs are 10% lighter than stock, and they're about 3" taller than stock (and the D25's I have here). The only spring compressor I have is a ratchet strap...which is a major PITA, and I about took my hand off twice

Any pointers you can give me? I have the right side in...don't ask me how, I don't know how it went it, it just did Should I try taking the control arms loose??

Thanks in Advance,
Chris

 

Get an adequate spring compressor my friend. And take the proper precautions to make sure youre careful. There is a lot of force required to compress the springs.

 

I can't understand why people can put in 4.5" lift springs without a spring compressor, but I can't get these in!

I think I have a couple tools now I can use for spring compressors...I only had one last night, now I've got two! I think I'll get it this afternoon!
