Both Compressors Required?

[ameration]

Watching this video, is it just me or do they only use one spring compressor? Do you need to equally compress them using one compressor on each side to prevent them from slipping off?

Sorry for the silly question but I’ve never used spring compressors before - it’s either been a full lift or spacers that I’ve done in the past. Thank you

Spring compressors can be extremely dangerous to use for a novice - they have thew potential to kill you if improperly used. If you are a novice, or unexperienced in using spring compressors PLEASE take your Raptor to a professional - the video says 20 minute install - worth the $100 if you want ton preserve life.

Oh, aND BTW - using 2 compressors is the only way to do this somewhat safely.

Like mentioned above. Take it to a professional.

Job was completed and super easy.

Sorry that I asked a simple question above about a tool that I have never used in the past and appear to be too stupid to use safely even though I have wrenched on cars for many years.

I thought we all gave you a simple answer, you never mentioned you had any experience at all with a wrench. STILL - it's not safe just cause you own some wrenches.
