I putting my stock springs back in, because my mom is driving it more and doesn't like how low it is and the ride. i got the rears reinstalled but have a hard time with the front. I think i need a spring compressor but it sunday afternoon and everywhere is closed. is there some else i can use to compress the springs enough so i can install the nut?

 

Unfortunately a spring compressor would be best. If you can get a couple of guys and hold the stock spring on the shock down and hurry up and screw it in and you'll be good. After the first time of swapping springs in my car I kinda knew I would need a spring compressor for future use.

 

yeah i kinda figured in would need a spring compressor. always good to have tools, so went out and bought one.
