how to compress drop springs??? Need help badly.

[riz]

I have McGaughy drop springs and I can't get them compressed enough to install into my POL tubular lower control arms.... I tried using a compressor with the pickle fork looking part but it won't fit fully into the dropped tighter coils....so it won't align in the middle of the coil.......... is there a different type of compressor? I'm thinking of making my own somehow but not sure how.


The reason I need to get these in ASAP is that I need to get the truck as a roller so I can get it out of the garage by June 9th for my daughter's grad party..... I really need to get these installed fast.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
