Installing front a-arms - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Getting ready to put my a-arms back on and i do not want to remove the balljoints to do this. What is the best way to compress the coil to accomplish this? Has anyone rented a spring compressor, the internal type from autozone or napa and had any luck with them? The spring looks pretty beefy.

I don't want to remove the ball joints at this point because they are still pretty fair and thatis a project for another day.

Any suggestions appreciated. thanks
