I have a compressor for well over 40 years.

J hook style with a center bolt. One short and one long hook on each end.

Slips in thru the shock hole and just spin it apart to get it in or out.

You can pull a spring down straight or curved by moving the hooks.

GM cars were often curved in the front nd makes it real easy.

Just position the spring right during install to get it to seat properly top and bottom...

It has never failed me.

I even did springs without a compressor using the lift and a jackstand......got a little iffy at times...
