Bluetoy and I did my suspension without a spring compressor... no problem. at 270lbs, I had little trouble compressing the spring to put it back on...and they're no where near compressed enough hurt you when you undo that topnut.

I'm only saying this because it's something I've done 1st hand.. I don't recommend flyweights trying it, and recommend a spring compressor nonetheless, but if you're doing it on a budget, or you're less than impressed than the rent-a-compressor from crappy tire, there's nothing to worry about.

and when I say 'bluetoy and I', I mean mostly blue toy... I greased parts, and compressed that one strut.
