Compressing front springs. ARG!!
I am trying to install 4 inch Deavers in my F100. How the heck do install the front springs? I have a spring compressor but don't think it'll squeeze them enough to get them under the axle. I'll admit, I afraid of the compressor blowing up in my face and chipping my molars. 
How are you guys doing it?

Loosen the passenger side ! And maybe even loosent the radius arms from their rear brackets.
Those things are t a l l . You're using radius arm drop brackets I hope.
EDIT... Are the radius arms disconnected? Loosely bolt them to the axle and "lever" the springs into position.

I have the front axle completely separated.
Do you think they are squished enough with the drop brackets?
