where can i get one of those relocaters or do you have to make one?


9)
If using a coil spring compressor, take special care. Lower the axle and remove the coils.
*NOTE: Do not torque bolts to spec until vehicle lowered to the ground and set to ride height.
10)


Using special care, install the new Rusty's coils.
11) Raise the front lower control arm up into position and install bolts before unloading the coils.


is it possible to change the springs with out a compression tool i thought i had seen it done with out one just reading the instructions it threw me for a loop

It is possible to change the front coil springs without the compressor tool. I did it on mine with a lot of persuasion and profanity. You can buy the relocation bracket online from several different companies like Rough Country and Skyjacker for under $30.

Brake lines will be fine with a 2 inch lift. The track bar will be a little off center but not by much.
