I looked around at several other places and this by far was the best price to be found. As far as the spring compressor it is pretty standard, and works fine.

This review is from: K-D Tools 3450 Coil Spring Compressor (Misc.)

I bought this to put the coil springs back on my 1999 s10 4.3 2wd. First I had to cut about 5 inches off the bolt so it would work with my truck. The bolt seems to be too long for any vehicle. Then the compressor kept popping off when I was trying to use it. I got it to work by only connecting the two shorter lips on the back of the spring and compressing it so it would curve just a little bit. This tool is very dangerous as well as probably any other tool that compresses springs. I gave it three stars because I had to modify it and it just wouldn't work the right way for me. If you need a spring compressor this one is of good quality, but it may have limited uses for certain vehicles. Also my spring was at the maximum size for this compressor.
