I have sent an email to cancel strut spacers.
I figured , since i payed so much for the convenience of having height adjustable coil overs ,i might aswell make the most of them.
I will call around tommorow, I live near melbourne airport, there is a few good 4x4 shops around i will ask if they have the spring compressor and see if i can get it done.
Cheers Dennis
I'm glad you did not take the advice to buy your own spring compressors. I saw a photo once of some in use on a Hilux spring and they were so badly bent under tension, that I threw my unused Supercheap compressors in the bin! Not safe for a Hilux spring. You need ones that bolt to the wall.
With the spring under tension, the thread binds and you risk stripping the thread on the coilover IF you have the strength to turn the nut on the shock body.
