for jay...
 
or anyone else that knows how the factory compresses the front springs to chage the shocks...

How do they do it? We tried 3 different types of spring compressors and none of them worked b/c of the setup.

Thanks!

We have a wall mounted spring compressor.

No dood, you got it backwards. :) You take the coil spring + shock assembly out from your Runner and take it to the wall-mounted spring compressor and slap it in there. Compress it and pop the shock out. Replace the shock, tighten to torque spec and uncompress the shock. Then put the entire coil spring assembly back on your rig.
