[Chevelle-list] Coil Springs

[Clyde]

Hello:you can take a long piece of threaded rod,what ever size will fit 
through the upper hole where the shock would mount,this is usually at least 
1/2"threaded rod can work.Usuing a plate that will stop against the lower 
control arm,you can use the threaded rod to act as your spring 
installer.This works really good and is very safe.Always inspect the 
threaded rod for stress before using it again for safety sake.
