No way the rental threaded rod style would safely do the fronts. I have a specialty products 40260 and it easily handled the job on all 4.I received my spings today. 2dr 2.7 . Can anyone confirm I can compress the the front struts with auto parts rental tools or just the rear?

That's the one. I'm not sure if you've ever used one before but make sure you space the compressors 180 apart and tighten the tabs. They can slide towards each other if you're not careful. Also leave yourself enough travel in the tool to completely release the old spring once it's out of the strut.Im guessing you
These ?
I appreciate ur advice. I called a local 4x4 shop and they will do for $100 a pair removed. I believe I will let them do the fronts the after I mark them.That's the one.

This x10 for sure. I ran mine at the recommended pressures, and they were absolutely smoked in the middle in less than 7k miles. I definitely second that 32 psi number.I would suggest lowering your tire pressure to about 32 if you are on stock sas tires. If you run the higher pressure, you will start noticing earlier wear on the center tread.
Will you post some pictures when you get these installed? Looking for input as a 2 door 2.7L owner also.I received my spings today. 2dr 2.7 . Can anyone confirm I can compress the the front struts with auto parts rental tools or just the rear?

I've been running mine at 32-33 cold for over 20k km as well. No issues with abnormal tire wear and it feels a lot more comfortable.This x10 for sure.

Fair enough. Provided you have the proper tool the fronts are no more difficult than the rear IMHO. I followed others advise on here and removed the front struts by dropping the lower control arm. I found this method to be pretty easy. The only thing I would add is there is no need to remove the skid plates. I left them in and it was a non issue.
I decided you were right. I was able to get Summit racing to price match the tool and picked it up yesterday.
Quick jack just gets the rear tires off the ground. Perfect.
That spring compressor works great, didn't feel life threatening once.
Gained at least 2" in front even with steel bumper/ winch plate .(coming from plastic on Base model.)
1.5 in back. Almost level now and higher!
Yes. I have only take a short test drive. I need to get an alignment in the morning but so far I haven't noticed much difference from sas springs hard to tell yet.did you put the Eibach Pro lift kit on? That looks great. How's the ride compared to stock?
