Default WTB (borrow/beer) Spring Compressor (Colorado)

Anyone in Colorado with a spring compressor? Will trade beer if I can use it for a day. Extra beer in exchange for a garage I can borrow for 4-6 hours too.

Otherwise, if someone wants to do a lend-via-shipping plus a few bucks, I'll foot the shipping bill and a few bucks for your time.

Posting up here in parts since nobody seems to notice the regional forums these days.

Valve spring or coil spring?

Guess I should have clarified that a bit - coil spring. Valve spring compressors are cheap enough I would have just picked one up.

you relize you can just go to AutoZone/Rilley's and rent them.....actually it is just borrowing it for the time needed. They give you back you deposit in full when returned. Garage space I have and you can use for free. What are you taking the rear out for?

Boulder Reilly's didn't seem to have any compressors they thought would fit - I'll call around though, thanks!

Got a set of SRT-6 springs for a good price and with Konis adjusted all the way out I think the ride quality trade-off will be minimal / worth it on the track. I picked myself up a bit of a high plains addiction over the summer

I know I can theoretically swap them out without the compressor but I figure I might as well do it right and save myself the cursing/pain.

Oh no do it with the spring compressor as I have had mine out several times and you really need to use that to drop the a arm and do it right. I had a real hard time putting the srt6 rear in mine with out the use of a compressor.

Yeah - I'm on the list and have been planning to get to a meet-up but work keeps getting in the way.
