They are about $80. Post whereabouts you are and I'll let you know your nearest retailer.

I had a lot of problems with the spring compressors when i did my suspension on my LJ. We couldn't get the compressors up the side of the spring because of the metal in the way. In the end dad made some arm compressors and we compressed the upper and lower arms till we could do the bolts up. I think the springs must have been really hard.

Even lowing the cars weight onto them wouldn't get the bottom ball joint thread through the stud axel.
