Default Need Transverse Spring Compressor

Anyone have the J 33432-A Transverse Spring Compressor (and would be willing to rent/loan) or know a place that rents these??

I have tried the dealerships, AutoZone, O'Reilley, a couple of vette shops and individuals but no one seems to have one to rent/loan.

I am in the Oklahoma City area. Thanks!

If you're swapping out the springs, you really don't need it. The springs can be removed by hand simply by separating the lower ball joints from the spindle, then the end links and shocks from the lower control arm. Back the height adjusters off, remove the 4 bolts holding the springs to the chassis and slide the spring out.

But to answer your question, no, I don't have one.
