So if I jack up the back enough for the tires to be off the ground after unbolting the bottom of the shocks I should not need a spring compressor? I have one good jack and two jack stands I should be able to figure that out. Do I remember someone jacking up the whole back end at once safely using a jack and some wood on the gas tank? That just doesn't sound safe to me. Wish I could run out and visualise this under the VX but it is back at the transmission shop again. Thanks for the help guys I can't wait to get those 912s in. Do I remember some one suggesting using HD zip ties to hold these correctly seated in the event of serious down travel? Ordered the 912s wednesday, but thanks for the offer of 2nd dibs. Soon as AAMCO fixes their mess I will get on this and put some pics up.
