A spring compressor isnt really needed, just us a jack and jack stands. If you do get a compressor make sure you get one that goes on the outside of the spring.

Jack up the rear end and support it with stands. Raise the axel anddisconnect the rear shocks and quad shocks. Lower the axel and pull the springs out. Then remove the control arms and reinstall in reverse order.
