I know the rear you do not need spring compressor, but what about the front? Installing this weekend and wanna get all the tools together so there will be no running around during install day (cross fingers,knock on wood, etc...)

Thanks,
Brent

No spring compressor needed. Just did mine a couple of days ago. Unbolt caliper, shock from spindle, and end link....arm drops down and I had to pry spring out with a prybar.

No spring compressor needed at all, as stated above, unbolt the caliper, unbolt your end links, place a jack under the A arm and push up enough to take tension of the shock bolts and let the jack down. Spring will either fall out or need to be pryed out.

Thanks guys appreciate the replys. I wasn't sure how much compression the spring would be under still at that point.
