the one you want is made by crane cams. it changes two springs at a time. if you were local, id gladly let you borrow it.

its the best spring tool ive ever used.

I do all my spring swaps with them (I use two at the same time). Works perfectly and very easily.

I'm a good stroll from Vengeance. 30-45 min or so depending on traffic. If you're north of them, the way gas prices are it'd almost be cheaper just to buy yourself one rather than drive down here.

The thunder racing tool is a good one too. It changes one at a time but it works good using a ratchet as the leverage tool.

After talking to you on the phone I called my friend for you that has one...

He loaned his Crane tool to someone else once (on this board) and it was returned damaged.

He's not loaning it anymore.

if you only plan on using it once, and dont like the idea of paying that much money for it, I will buy it from you when you are done with it so you can recoupe some of your money back.

I can always use an extra one here at the shop.
