I am having a little trouble getting the springs to compress enough to fit. I have used a coilspring compressor but with two of them on the spring it won't fit in the location. Ant tips or tricks or special tools? I need answers asap. Trying to have a rolling chasis by tomorrow. Thanks!!

i ran the threaded rod of the spring compressor down through the shock mounting hole in the frame and hooked the hooks as low as i could on the spring. compressed the spring up into the frame and then as i jacked up the control arm, i forced the spring into the pocket on the lower control arm (a friend did that with a long 2x4). i also had chains wrapped around the springs a few times, and a couple times around the frame...in case it decided to take flight.

Thanks for the tips. I ended up going to autozone and used their inside mount spring compressor. It still was a fight but I got it together.
