I hear you can rent spring compressors at Autozone or Pep-boys for cheap, that's really the only key tool.
You could also go the ghetto mattress against the wall route but I wouldn't suggest it.

you can always borrow some from autozone or what ever parts place is near you, it would be definatly cheaper than a shop doing it, but you might want to get an alignment once your done.

come on chris. i know you know people that have tools.
and you probably wont find a shop that will do it for cheap enough, so your best bet would probably be one of your dragva******s.

Re: who knows a place with a good price on a spring/shock install?
What shocks did you get? My friend had the koni adjustables on his. Good shock, just a pain in the ass to install. Do you know if you have to drill and cut your old shocks or not? I know with the konis, they actually slide into the bottom half of your oem shocks. You have to cut them, then drill a hole in the bottom to bolt the shock in. If it is a straight replacement, I can do it no problem. Don't feel like messing with somthing that will be a pain in the ass though.
