My dad is a contractor, I'll ask him Dave. When can we do this. My springs should be by Friday and I'll go pick them up Monday. Oh, I'm going to order an Ingalls Front Camber kit soon. For the rear I'll just use washers.
How many to use for a 2.25" drop?

You can get the spring out without a spring compressor, but it's very dangerous and you can possible injure yourself or kill someone else. I know people who have done suspension work without one, you can shoot the spring against a brick wall or into a garbage can with towels at the bottom. It shoots out rather violently though, which is why it's dangerous. Seriously if you can rent a spring compressor for free or cheap then I suggest you get it.
