What have you done to your K2 today?

[Waterfowler41]

What did you use to compress the coil?
What notch did you go with on the front shocks?
Are they like the Bilstein 5100 adjustables?

Spring compressor tool from oreillys, yes they are adjustable exactly like bilsteins.

I’m on the bottom notch currently which is currently measuring at 3” lift, I expect that to go down once I start the other side so should end up with a 2.5” lift up front.

these bad boys needed almost an inch of compression, nerve-racking to say the least

You have kahunas waterfowler!

I have heard and seen horror stories about auto parts rent a compressors.

They work, just depends on the car. On my sister's Kia, it was a walk in the park. My Cadillac? A FREAKING STRUGGLE.

 

Sierra springs? Looks even worse!

I didn’t trust the parts store compressor so I made my own when I put Bilsteins on my ‘08. The screws are 20mm.

unfortunately I don't have specifics.. they were given to me at Christmas and the package has long since been thrown away.. all I can say is they came in a package of 8 or 10 and use 2 button cell batteries.. they just stick on and have a little switch on their face

There’s no way to do this without an impact gun, no way to do this by hand with a ratchet.

Forget the custom spring compressor, i am interested in the Sam Adams Octoberfest ! 

Seriously, great idea and those are not bending like auto store rentals.
