more like superman. i bent the spring compressors while compressing a few inches and still couldn't get them to fit before i unhooked the track bar. thats why i believe that i have stiff springs compared to some other rams.

my springs look fairly new (even though they're probably not) so i have a feeling im going to have trouble compressin them.

And ive heard that you can or dont have to. Now Do you have to take out the tracbar?

it depends if you do what i did with the axle, then you dont.

i put the jack under the drivers side of the axle,jacked it up, which gave me about 5 more inches, which was just about enough to get the spring in. then i did the same to the passanger side to get the driver side coil in.

Scroll down about half way.

Its just way to much. probably paid more for the space than he would have for new springs but on a good note he got to keep the stock ride quality :|
