Default Strut/coil compressor

I have a lift kit sitting in my garage. I want to put it on monday. I cant find a buddy with a strut/coil compressor for the life of me. I went to napa. $120!!! Any way to get the coils off safely without this?? Any help soon will be great before I have to postpone installing the lift. Thanks.

Yep just make sure you check the box before you leave. It could be missing some parts. Don't ask me how I know.

Auto Zone all the way. Like freegdr said, you have to put a deposit on your cc but it gets credited back when you return the tool.

No need to start multiple threads for the same question.

You don't need a coil spring compressor, its not mandatory, other, safer methods exist...
