Assistance from Denver Member

I am going to be installing new bilstein 5100's in the front and rear, as long as a spacer in rear. I have never worked on suspension before and have no idea what I am doing. Would hate to start it and realize I can not finish. Is there anyone in the Denver metro area that would be willing to lend a hand on a weekend? I would be willing to compensate if needed. Thanks for any help.

I realize this was some time ago but were you able to get them on?

 

[andrew90lx]

I did. Got it all finished up a few weeks ago.

Good deal. You don't happen to know where I can find a spring compressor do you?

You can rent them at auto parts places like autozone etc. Be careful, those things can be dangerous.

Yeah I actually tried the one at advance but the rings on my coils are so tight I couldn't get the compressor in between them. I did watch a few videos and one of them the guy had to tap the compressor in the coils with a hammer and slide them around to get the spacing. So I may have to re try that method this weekend.
