The tool Gen3Benz is talking about works great. You can make one yourself with a little time and about $5. I don't worry about swapping out my springs with this tool in my possesion. The spring swap took me about 4 hours if I remember with a dinner break included, and that was my first time changing springs. I can e-mail you the dimensions and a pic of it if you want. Just shoot me your e-mail if you want it.
