hey all, so my poor blazer is leaning to the pass side a tad, the leaf springs are starting to straighten out on that side....I was wondering if I get a 300 torque compressor I should be able (with some husband man power help) do this myself, right?

if so, can anyone recommend a good not TOO highly priced compressor?

thanks in advance for all your help!

Ps I DID read through everything on here about replacing the springs and I feel I know what I am doing here, the question is more about the compressor

 

Have you checked front and rear chassis ride height? That will tell you what needs attention. A sagged torsion bar or a spring can affect the way the vehicle leans.

Front chassis ride height is the vertical distance between the lower-most inboard point of the steering knuckle, nearest the ball joint, to the center of the lower control arm pivot bolt.

1996 & newer:
4WD (except ZR2) = 4.6” to 5.0” desired is 4.8”
4WD ZR2 = 4.6” to 5.2” desired is 4.9”

Rear ride height is the vertical distance from the axle bumper bracket, to the top of the rear axle housing. Spec for all Blazer, Jimmy, & Bravada, 2WD and 4WD, is 5.1" to 5.8"
Both front and rear ride height must be checked/adjusted with the vehicle on a level surface.

If it does need rear leaf springs, you won't need a spring compressor, they just bolt in
