i'm trying to install taller coils in my 94 tracker, but its not working out too well. any hints on how to do it quickly and easily? (in the front) :-/ my spring compresser doesn't seem to compress enough to get the old one out.
i did a search but didn't find what i was looking for.
(i'm also new here, so maybe i wasn't looking in the right places) :-[
thanks in advance.

From the Gear Guide section this article shows one method for spring removal.

if you can't get stock springs out, you're not removing enough stuff!

you dont need a spring compressor to get them out or the new ones in for that mater. just a jack. ;)
how much taller are they then the stock ones.
remember one side at a time. unless your struts are inside the coils. if thats the case, i have never seen that on a suzuki before. stranger things have happened. ;D

A floor jack, some jackstands and 4 of your biggest buddies!
Jack up truck.
Rest on jack stands.
Put floor jack under 1 a-arm.
Have buddies sitting on hood, bumper, front seat, etc.
Put in spring, jack up a-arm until strut bolts can be tightened.
Say good bye to downtravel.
;D
