It would help a lot if you do. It can be done without but it is a very dodgy exercise

i got a set if u want to buy them lol but i didnt need them when i put my 40mm suspension lift in... just jack it right up and oh get a set of rachet spanners would make the job heaps faster for undoing the top of the struts.... well when u jack it right up there is no load on the spring so you dont have to worry about there being load on it... soo good luck

you wont need spring compressors to get the spring out.

put the car on chassis stands and have a jack under the diff, when you undo the nuts and bolts for the strut tower, you can lower the jack under the diff and the strut will come out.
