Thanks Richard for that excellent and timely warning about he spring. I actually did compress my front springs with a type of generic tool but it was a mistake and stupid. The power in that spring is spookey and they whole time you are compressing it your head is about three inches away. Ug. Don't try it!

I later rented the right tool from Performance Products in California for about $100 (30 day rental) to do the rear springs. I am sure the one you refer to is also the correct style. So much easier and safer. You have to see them to understand but the right tool for this job looks like two steel pancakes that are connected with a rod that goes inside the spring. Most generic models hook up outside and don't hold properly. The one generic that does go inside (that I saw) would not fit.
