I was wondering if you needed the spring compressor to put the lowering springs onto the shock assembly?

would it be short enough to not need a compressor?

Just had mine installed by a fellow forum member. He did it in less than an hour. Its really a simple job once you see it done once

you dont need the compressor to put the lowering springs on. By myself it took me a couple hours. If you're mechanically inclined you shouldnt have any trouble.

It's super easy. Just look for a writeup if you get stuck.
