    I can't help reset the springs, but I can ask if you have pics of the flex required to unseat them...

    I used a pair of spring compressors on mine. I jacked the chassis up off the ground as far as it would go, then dropped it 1/2 to 1 inch. Attached the spring compressor, did it up lightly, then jacked it up again. The spring comprressor stops it from expanding and then it popped in by itself.

    Be careful though - you really only want to compress the springs 1 inch at most with the compressor - as it stored a lot of energy and if it were to break you might lose an appendage.

    Up to 4" extended coils you can just drop the shock and push in by hand
