Installing new stock coil springs on my 94 XJ 4.0 4WD. I don't have an impact drive, just a regular drill. Is there some kind of adaptor I could use on drill for strut compressor when doing install/uninstall so I don't have to wrench so much? Would prefer not to remove LCA and/or track bar. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yes they make them. They look like a 1/2 inch drive extension with three flats on one end. I have one and they are kind of handy.

I suppose you could make your own by cutting an extension and grinding some flats on it yourself.

Be careful, spring compression ain't no joke.

Just Google "drill socket adaptor". They make all kinds.

You shouldn't need a spring compressor for the front coils, just take the shocks and sway bar loose, the springs will almost fall out.

Bustedback is right you can put the jeep on jack stands loosen the shock and sway bar end links,Then take a jack under the side of the axle you want and slowly lower it the spring will almost just fall out on its on.
