Help w/ re-installing coil spring

[3strats]

Sorry guys. I didn't get to read the replys till now. So i got the correct compressor first thing this morn. It actually worked the first time around. The second side sucked because it kept slipping and not tightening up. Finally got it to hold and put into spring pocket. Jacked up lca and "POP!" Glad I didn't have any digits in the way. Those things make me very uneasy to say the least. Yes I figured bolting up lca first to frame and swinging it up was the better way. Made alot more sense after i finagled around with it. Trial and error. Gonna button the rest of it up tomorrow morn; ran out of time and started to rain. Thanks again for the replys.
