Coil Spring Compressor

I prefer to do my own work at home, so, my question is..what would be the best and least expensive front coil spring compressor that would work on these beefy springs to replace shocks on an 07 ? Thanks in advance for suggestions, I would rather not have it farmed out.

You can rent coilspring spacers from Advance Auto, Autozone and other chain parts stores. Just be sure to get a heavy duty one. You could also just remove your coilovers and take them to a shop to have the coilsprings removed and installed on your new shocks.
