Re: front coil help

The way I have done it in the passed with my 1 ton front coils is as Datguysal stated.
Put the uncompressed coil in the upper pocket and use a hydraulic floor jack to lift the lower control arm into place. I have done this on two different vehicles, one being my 82 when I rebuilt the whole front end.
