To get the necessary clearance, compress the spring down to about 12" or a little less. To get this much compression, attach the hook blocks as close to the top and bottom as possible. I had to use a 1/2" x 2" pipe nipple on the threaded bolts below the bottom hook block to get enough compression with the AutoZone compressor. Remember, perseverance can overcome just about everything. jp
