got some rough country springs. got the old stock springs with my 1.5 spacer out. my question is how do you compress the spring i have the tool just for got how to use it the spring compressor has the two hooks and a forked that's slides in the spring its the one you rent from auto zone or orielys any help would be nice
you dont need a spring compressor for lift springs. just use your foot to press down on the lower control arm and it should give you enough room to squeeze it in there. I installed some lift springs on an 05 dodge 1500 2wd, did it the same way.
haha i tried that guess im too weak ill get my friend to do it and ill pop it in dose it matter witch way the spring faces
The coil that is cloest together goes to the top .... And theres a flat spot on the coils it turns a certain way .... Also make sure u put your rubber on top of the new ones same way it came off the stock ones
i lost my old insulators when i put my spacer on. so i bought new ones from lmc you cant run lift springs with a spacer right cause that would be 3.5 inches of lift
not without an aftermarket upper A arm. just put the insulator on top of the lift springs. I know it sounds sketchy but put your full weight on the LCA like almost stand on it and have a buddy put the spring in, put the top in first. and like fig said make sure to spin the coil till it goes in the groove on the LCA
so got it all put on. got my alinement as figured had to get a cam kit and it rides pretty good setting cali style right now it will have to do for now. also got my new front tires bfg ats 315 75 16 one last question its kida bouncy ride what would cause that got new shocks as well thanks guys for your help
yes new shocks will help the bounciness. plus the lift springs are more compressed so it'll be a rougher ride
