Does this kit require you to compress the spring?

No, installing the spring can all be done by have except for tightening down the nuts

No. Frank is accurate. I just used simple hand tools it's not hard and the kit came with instructions.

no it doesnt. th spacers just bolt on top and botom, its real tight goin back on so might need a pry bar or something 2 pry it back in.

Mine model didn't call for a spring. It sits in a slotted track at the bottom, sorry I can't help.

Yes. The kit also contains a new spring for the compressor. I didn't use it as my compressor was still operating fine. Everything was pretty much plug and play; very easy install. Can't believe what I spent last time at Midas to have this done

The kit I used was from ready lift WHEN(not if) you encounter problems with trying to compress your spring enough to make this kit work check them out! Better value, better product!

Screw it down to where the springs are almost fully compressed. The plastic is not the critical structure at risk, it is the CPU and the MB backing plate. The springs provide proper torque load as you compress them to near full compression. Do it in steps, in an X pattern.

The controller kit incluedes the compressor, gauge, wire and hose. The spring (lift) kit has two bags and mounting hardware, airhose and fittings to use the system with an external air source (e.g. gas station air compressor, bicycle tire pump, etc.) I purchsed both kits - installed same IAW instructions. Works great - careful not to kink hoses and put chaffing protection where the hoses are clamped to the frame.

Spring compress works but I've always used the bigger floor jacks,easier to use

Mine did not. They are really not very sprung. You can compress them with two fingers.

No, you will need an air compressor, with pressure regulator, filter and moisture trap.

Yes with a compressive. We will answer the question with more detail when we return from this morning's SUP race. Thank you for your interest.

No, it does not. Plus you'll be wasting your money with this kit. I returned mine

Yes you need a source of compressed air. Uses, if I recall from college, Bernoulli's principal by creating low pressure from high speed air flow.

Maybe, but I found the quality of the tool to be poor - hard to hold the tool in alignment to compress the spring. Pay up and get one at NAPA.

No. A small wrench is provided. I used my tools to make things easier and faster.

No. Works fine with the standard buffer and spring. Simply swap out and you are ready to go

Nope kit comes with everything.....the compression comes from a can of air which is Included with the kit

Yes you will need a compressor. The unit uses a lot of air so you will need one that can keep up with it without having to wait long periods in between bursts.
