Do I need a coil spring compressor to install my drop?

Hey gents,
I just ordered a 4/6 McGaughy drop kit withthe 2" lowering springs and 2" drop spindles. I was wondering if I need to get a spring compressor in order to install this kit. Thanks for the help.

No.

All you need is a BFH (sledgehammer) and a jack.
