My buddy just bought the highlifter springs with a compression tool.
I am thinking about buying the highlifter springs or the ranger springs.
My question is: Is the compression tool a universal tool? Like will it work on my springs as well?
Thanks
I'm not sure if this is correct but I think the compression tool that they sell cannot be used on the polaris strut front end.Anyone know if this is correct??

I have no idea what type of spring compressor they sell. What I do know is that you don't really need a spring compressor for the fronts. You can get the nut on with a very small amount of force. I did it by myself, but if you have a friend to give you a hand for 5 minutes it's very easy to do without a spring compressor.
As for the rear, just about any spring compressor will work.

I helped a friend put his on and the tool they sent was junk!

I just used the HL compression tool on my rear springs, so yes, it will work. I had to attach ratchet straps to the ends and use those to compress the springs, they are really stiff. Good luck and be carefull.
