Default

You'd have to compress the spring...difficult in tight quarters

Default oooh...niiice. Any idea on the cost of that?

And is this what you use to do full suspension installs? Meaning...does it compress the spring enough to be taken off...or just enough to adjust the shock?

Default It is capable of doing strut assembly also.

Got it at ontool.com (now defunct). $300 for the compressor and $60 for the small jaws to fit the rears. You can access distributors from RTI's home page if you are interested. Made in Denmark.<ul><li><a href="http://www.rtitech.com/">http://www.rtitech.com/</a</li></ul>
