iwashmycar Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Rented spring compressors. They don’t fit right being those weird cast things and I’m going to throw in the towel before I kill myself. Picked up some new coilovers for the FJ which only adjust at the bottom spring perch. They are pretty entry-level. 600# springs. Have to compress the spring to spin the adjuster. They come set at 2” of lift and I would like to spin them up a tad to aim for 3” That said, does anyone have a wall-mounted compressor that could help me out? I’m hesitant to just call some random shops who might not keep the bottom strut mount aligned, ect. Plus I was going to adjust them both differently to combat Toyota lean. Thanks!

Geeesammy Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 If you are willing to drive to Enon I can do it. I'll have to charge you something but I'll be fair about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted December 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 That looks like a bit of a haul, though to clarify the post, I’m not looking for free help. One idea might be to actually put em on the truck, compress suspension, Set compressor, strap, something? ...then let it droop and see if that keeps them compressed. From there spin the ring up.

iwashmycar Posted December 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Yeah they are usually my go to. Called last week about a CV problem and they said booked till Jan or something. Granted I think they just didn’t want that particular job so it’s probaby worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Maybe try trails west for what you are wanting done I bet they would be able to set it and know exactly what your needs are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted December 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Pickups Plus is Lewis Center was the better location of theirs right? I work right near them. Of course I made the thread hoping someone had one at home. Knew a guy when in Virginia that did... man that was convenient! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't, but tell him that. Also tell him that Randy is taller than him and far better in every way. Guaranteed success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also tell him that Randy is taller than him and far better in every way. Guaranteed success. Justin is a good dude, but it would probably be $125 just for the adjustment. Even then I may have to do it again to fine tune the height later. I think I’ll just use the no-compressor method of undoing the top nut and lowering the LCAs to release tension. Just was wanting to avoid undoing perfectly put-together coilovers. Again, if anyone has one in a barn / shop not governed by hourly rates, somewhere let me know.

Chief8one Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 I would browse craigslist for someone who works out of their home/shop and give them a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
