I used the Autozone spring compressor, and it worked fine with pneumatic tools (impact wrench) to tighten/loosen. Just make sure you put the tophot on in the same orientation so you don't pre-load the spring when you put it back in. I noticed that the tophats do not line up the same way as OEM, since the Swift spring is cut different and it doesn't stop/start at the same place as the OEMs (they don't fit the same way in the rubber bushing, to allow the bolts to go through the strut holder in frame). I think this also will insure a common drop all around (no preload on springs).
