Autozone loans tools for free. They charge you the full retail price incase you decide to keep it but credit it back when you return it.

Never heard of them. But cant you also just drop the suspension slowly after removing the shock? It's what I did when I did my lift, and I had the spring compressor...I'm the end it wasn't needed. This took pressure off the spring and I didn't have to stand in front of it lol just in case
