So I got my coil spacers and stud extenders (if i need them).
I'm installing them on my 95 ranger 4x4 STX.

I am planning on getting an alignment tomorrow.

Do I need a spring compressor?

Anything else I need?

Quick replies would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys!

 

Spring compresser would help but you don't have to have one.

 

How reliable are coil spacers? I'd imagine that if there's too much movement, the spacers might get misaligned and fall out of place.

 

Some people "zip tie" them. Which is not the best one but it works. It should stay by itself cuz of the pressure.

 

just did this..

how big are the spacers? thatll determine all of the answers to your questions

easy answer is use a chain and a lock as a compressor, have some folks push down on front quarter panel with the truck under its own weight and wrap a chain around the spring and lock it tight.

 

Someone needs to make a "how-to"

 

If I ever get the time to order mine and put them in, I'll do a how to for the '98 and up guys.

 

I would think they would all be kinda similar.

 

Just bought some coil spacers. I was tempted when I first saw this.

 

I was going to do the same thing this past weekend, put spacers in. But the external spring compressor I bought won't fit in between the upper and lower control arms. Do I need an internal compressor set?
