    YEY-EAH!!! Just like this, or any version of this, I love!!!
    Spring compressors don't always work either depending on the spring's shape and design.
    I'll admit, Ive had hacks for those types of springs, but something like this is wayyyy better.

    I would talk shit but that's pretty slick, I've done it a lot sketchier ways but that's pretty smart. I would suggest a 4x4 wood block with a V cut in the center to try to prevent the bottom from kicking out but your idea gets the job done. We've got a wall mounted spring compressor but we rarely use it anymore since the price of quickstruts is so cheap now and you get a new spring, bumpers, billows/sleeves, and a new top bushing/bearing with new studs. As a mechanic I don't make as much labor off of it but it's much easier to do.

      ​@mobileblinks4762 I have seen people use spring compressors incorrectly, which is far more dangerous than this method,even if this were to slip, the hitch and the ground would absorb the majority of the hit. But no matter what method you use,use common sense and you will be fine,if you are not sure,than have someone else do it. This is actually a pretty slick method.
