WARNING!!! If you have a trailer queen show car, you may see something in these pictures that you are unfamiliar with... It's called DIRT. You get that when you actually drive your car!
The towel is protecting the chrome export brace from getting scratched.
By tightening the top bolt on the compressor, you can see here that the old spring is getting compressed.
Now to just reverse the process and put the "new" modified springs back in place. (1 and 1/2 coils cut from stock springs.)
New coil spring is compressed enough to get the upper "A" arm bolted back into position.
"New" spring is back in place, and new shock absorber installed. Now on to the passenger side to do it all over again!
Compressing coil springs can be scary (and dangerous), and this tool made it easy and safe.
If you go back to one of my previous photo albums, you can see some "before" pictures to compare the old height versus new height.
