I removed my springs last fall and had one heckuva time getting them back in. The tough part is getting the top of the spring to fit in its pocket. After trying three different spring compressors, I learned the trick. Make sure the threaded rod in your coil spring compressor fits easily through the upper shock absorber hole. With lowered (shorter)springs you may not have any trouble. You won't have to compress the spring as far to get it in between the control arm and the sub frame.
