Calling out for help...spring compressors anyone?

Tomorrow at 11:30 im installing a lift kit on a FJ Cruiser. I'm not too sure as to if my spring compressors can handle the extra force that the truck springs have. anyone have spring compressors i can borrow so i can place 3 compressors on the spring instead of just 2?

I live directly off of RT. 22 or i can come pick it up which ever is more convenient for you. but i would like to have it as early as possible. I can get i back to you asap

if this doesnt happen a set of compressors goes for around 50-60 bucks.

thanks for any replies! wish me luck!

go to advanced auto and you can rent a compressor they have the kit where you pay the full price up front and when you return the kit you get your money back this is only so that if you dont return the kit they arnt out a spring compressor.

thanks for the ideas, i actually just picked up a set from harbor freight for 13 bucks.

one broke actually. going there sometime soon to return it or something. it could have been bad the way it broke if i didnt have the other two compressors on.
