Anyone install Geiser springs with regular strut spring compressor?

[blk91gt]

Grabbed some Geisor springs and was going to install soon. My issue is when I installed my spring collars my strut spring compressor was not up to the task and snapped the compressor. I was thinking of removing the shock and spring and use two pairs of compressors to get the job done.
Anyone do this. Is there a compressor that is up to the task of Geisors that isn't $$$$$

Bump, anybody got some information regarding worthwhile / trustworthy compressors for geiser installation?

I have not. I did purchase a set which worked well to remove the factory springs and the colors I had put on previously however it was just a bit too sketchy to compress the geisers. It may have done it but the amount of bending that was going on and trying to go back-and-forth and keep everything even had me a little worried. I brought the struts in to a tire shop that had a wall-mounted spring compressor. They only charged me 20 bucks to swap the springs. It took them about 20 minutes I did have it all ready to go as far as brought everything to them. I had the top hats / perches and stock collar all marked for alignment.
This was a place in Pasadena off Rosemead Boulevard Ca
I was determined to do it and maybe could have but I have broken a set of spring compressors before and didn’t wanna be on the bad end of it. I believe the guy that pointed me to these compressors on the Facebook raptor forms was successful. It was the Amazon purchased

I just did the eibach springs with the autozone spring compressors they rent. I got two pair. Needed 3 for the stock springs and all 4 on the Eibach's. You're gonna need an air 1/2" impact for sure. It put my snapon one through some pretty good work. Impact makes taking off the sway bar/tie rod/upper control arm nuts easy though as they should be somewhat seated in the part. Make sure you mark your center line on the shock and the spring cap and get them back together lined up or you won't get it back in and will have to start over with the compressors. Also, put the compressors on so the nut you have to wrench on is toward the shock end, not the spring cap end. I had one on backwards and when I went to let them all off it was a pain in the ass to get a socket on it. If you have a good air impact, it really wasn't too bad. I watched a youtube video and did it all myself in the garage in about 3hrs total. Oh, I also sprayed some PB Blaster on all the nuts the night before. Not sure if it needed it, but certainly didn't hurt. Be careful as you work those compressors, little at a time working your way around the spring both compressing and letting them go.

I used the macpherson fork style compressor, work out well.

Diddo as J Damage said. I have two sets of these and worked very well doing my own spring swap out.

That looks like a beefy kit that probably would have work for me..
