I made these springs compressors. They work great as long as your're not trying anything crazy. We tried something quite similar once... we have the remains of one hung on the garage wall as a reminder.... Be careful.

I only compress springs a fraction of their full length to make them a little easier to install..now! I had things go bad on me before and it was quite a smash. Coil bent and compressors swung around to the same side. I learned to offset them and be very careful.

Nice bead breaker! I've always wanted to try using my highlift under my rock rails. I'm sure I'll get a chance some day.

been there, done that, it slips easily, Very easily - and it'll take the full weight of the Jeep before it breaks the bead sometimes -

true, so that makes yours a pig Axles, though I think my highlift will max out before they start to lift. I'd have to ratchet strap them to the frame. LOL I like Justin's idea of driving over.

I fired this together after moving grinders around on the bench 200 times. I have 5 grinders on the go at all times (Zip Disc, Flap Wheel, Grinding Disc, Wire Cup, Sanding Pad) It rotates so you can grab the one you want.....Its ugly but it works
