Snagged it up right away!

If i had the right tool to make my own i would.. No more rackin the brain trying to figure out something simple and quick to change them.

Glad i found it.. The only thing close online i could find and it should work prefectly for the rear and front shocks.

I'll take pics showing the process.

If anyone needs help changing there shocks.. i'll soon have the right tool for the job! :mrgreen:

Thanks for the fast response wheelman! I also used a web site to convert the MM into inches so i could get an idea as i dont have a mm ruler. Should be good.. Hopefully! lol.

Oh no.. Just measured the rear and front springs. The rear is only about an 1" 1/2 wide. And the fronts are only about an 1" 1/4 wide.

heh oh the stress.. I hope it will somehow work. Maybe grab one side of the spring will be enough. :(
