Hi Mike,

I just finished building my front suspension last week and I would NOT do
without a compressor.  When we were letting the tension off the sping binded
a bit then slipped back and you have never seem to grown men jump so high
and far in your life, I even think a couple of years were taken off our
lives.  Luckly, everything was still contained :-)

Safety is always a good thing.
