HELP: Need Spring Compressor - So. Cal / S.Bay

[jasxn]

I purchased the Bilstein 6112 with the top mount. the perch is set at the 7th ring. i tried using the hand spring compressor but i just can torque it down far enough. also the grips are too big so I couldnt insert the shock

anyone in Southern Cali / preferably, not limited to, the South Bay/West LA who has access to the heavy duty industrial spring compressor?

thanks!

Have you tried AutoZone's tool rental? Or is that similar to what you have?

similar to what i have already. i think if i had airtools i could have gotten it down enough.

Not sure if you've seen the "no spring compressor needed" install....very safe and worked great for my last two Tacomas and my 2017 T4r. It'd be a bit more work since your 6112's are already assembled with top plate but mount them up then disassemble using the (link above) method.....move your clips then reassemble.
