Didi you get the spacers on yet? If you jack it high enough you can compress the spring and put bailing wire or mechanics wire on it and wrap it pretty good. The let down the jack and take the spring out.

Yeah I figured out how to do it without using a spring compressor but while I was in thereIdecided to replace the struts,...so I ended up needing a spring compressor anyway. but yeah it was totally possible to do the lift kit with spacers without a spring compressor.</P>
