Z springs install

[Yukon50BMG]

Ok, I’m trying to be a DIY’er and uh, jacked up the frame and lowered the differential, got the stock springs out, anyway to squeeze these springs in there without compressing them? I’m about an inch or so shy of getting them in on the insulators with no compression. Diff can’t go down anymore. Or can it?

Junked my spring compressors all bent. Put a jack under arm n unbolt it. Perfect like you'll be pissed you wasted time otherwise

Make sure you seat the bottom in the coil groove and top is centered. Slow and easy. Nothing should get weird

Weird is the only way to go where I’m from lol

Ok, so with the coil in place, the groove is which way... I’m assuming the spot that gives the coil the most room? I’ve rotated it and it gets tight on one side and I gain slack on the other. I’m centered up top
