What spring compressor did you guys use to get the front struts assembled?
The Eibach front springs have a wire diameter of .7115" and most of the external-type spring compressors only handle up to 5/8" (.625") diameter wire.
Will a 5/8" one squeak it? It's a hair lass than a 1/10th" diameter diff. but I worry about the compression pressure and the darn thing failing and taking my head off... LoL...
I was looking at this one, but the manufacturer says it will only do 5/8"

FF, do you have a pic. of the CV shaft angle with the Eibach springs at the 3.5" setting?
I did the fork lift thing to estimate the angles, but it would be nice to see what they look like with weight on the tires. You were running stock UCAs right? Ball joint angle OK? Alignment OK?
