Well I have some 3" Rough Country lift coils on the way along with new shocks and a steering stabilizer. I've read that you need to disconnect a bunch of the front suspension compnents to get the coils in.
I was wondering instead of disconnecting anything, could I just jack up the front, put the side I'm working on a low jack stand, jack up the other side using my floorjack to compress the coil, use a spring compressor to get it off the rest of the way, and then put on the new coil. Then once the new ones on get the sides even again and throw on the shock. Why does everyone suggest disconnecting the control arms and track bar and all that stuff?
