How to install aftermarket springs??

[Doug Supercharged Vipers]

Peter -
Try cutting or grinding down the puller arms on your spring compressor tool. That should help.

Yep, Doug's right. When I did the springs on my '97, I looked all over for a compressor tool that would fit the Eibachs, but eventually just ended up grinding the arms down enough to fit between the coils. The end result was well worth the work, but took a lot longer than I expected. Good Luck with it.

Peter,
BE CAREFUL Modifying a Spring Compressing Tool!! If it breaks under a load - LOOK OUT!! That Spring will be moving[Death]

?

The Tool I use here is a "Branick - Model 7200" wall mounted Spring Compressor.[$850] It will take all Viper Springs! You might want to call a couple of shops to see if anybody has one.

I took mine to a local custom shop that does a lot of suspension work raising and lowering trucks. Cost was $40 for removal of the old springs and installation of the Eibachs.
