I got the springs installed over the weekend. I took Greg Roberts advice from Nova Research and used the spring compressor through the shock hole. What I did was put this internal spring compressor bolt down through the shock hole. Then I put the spring into the pocket inserted the hooks and tightened the spring into the spring pocket. It worked out great. Just a little touch up nothing major. Thanks again Greg.

Rick OEM makes it. This is the link to Amazon. Very nice quality. The last internal spring compressor I bought was junk after 1 use.
