    Yeah, you'd be able to compress that spring with the LCA no problem. Pro tip, get the stem through the top hat first shot just enough to thread the top nut all the way, then relieve the pressure and re adjust to square the jack up then compress just enough to get the bushing, washer, and nut on tight.

    Ok got everything done.
    Installed eibach adjustable front struts set to 2.5", removed spacer lift.
    Installed rear toytech boss rear shocks.
    Removed all kdss stuff.
    Rides 100x better. No bumps or knocks.
    Alignment went good. Was able to get 2.5º caster so I'm happy

    Install was a breeze. Compressing the struts was easy using the Jack on the lower control arm. Was able to use a big pry bat to make room to remove without loosening the lca.
