Can anybody recommend some suspension heavy duty spring compressors, I have some work to do on the front suspension on my defender. There seems to be a wide choice (shopping on flea bay). Mostly sets of two, so I might need to buy two sets to make a set of 3?

2 per spring is OK. I've purchased 2 sets over the years, first set were not so good, kept slipping. Second set were much better.
I'll get a pic...bear with.

I paid 75 for mine on ebay... I tried 3 other types and its not worth the headache. Never felt safer with these and gives so much more space.
