spring swap tool

Can someone loan me the tool to compress all four spring at once? Or give me the part number and place to order. I am going to replace all the springs on my 03 in the next week or two. Going to leave the head on no real reason to remove it.

if you've got an auto zone, they'll loan you one for free....i don't think they're necessary if you disconnect the sway bar.

I talked to jvjump last night he says thanks for the replys his internet is down due to recent storms and will be back up shortly. Any other possibilities with a place to get the tool. Jetpilot is that the cummins part number for the tool to do it I suppose.

Yes that is the cummins part number for the tool. It's a nice piece and easy to use!

I may be way off but I think he was sayin it does 4 valves at once not 4 pistons. But agian I may be wrong about that.

Thanks jetpilot and bad-duvall for the part numbers! My internet was down for a few days. Will check those out this week hope to get it done next week. It's killing me looking at the toys sitting on the bench.
