Using the no compressor method with CB shims - is there room?

I've ordered 6112's (which I plan to run at 1.9 setting) and CB 1" shims.
I am looking at using the Tundra to compress the springs on install (those compressors scare the crap out of me)
My question after watching hours of video is
- has anyone done this with CB shims?
-after detaching the swaybar, is their room for the strut spring combo (set at 1.9) with the added CB shims to use this method with the A-arm hanging?


I know I could likely find a shop to compress the springs, but I'd rather explore this method first.


Thanks

I’m not quite sure what your asking here but I’ll try to help. The CB shims go on top of the assembled strut. You can order your 6112’s preassembled at 1.9”. Remove your old strut and replace with the preassembled 6112 with the CB shim on top.

 

A arm drooped you'll be fine, might have to disconnect the upper arm/lower arm from the spindle but otherwise no issue. The arm will drop to vertical if the spindle isn't limiting it. The shims go on top of the shock, if they went inside (between the spring and top hat) it'd be no different than just adjusting the shock to a higher setting.

 

Thanks. Yeah, I understand the positioning of the spacer/shim. Probably poor description by me. I think it's answered and I should be okay. Thanks again
