hate to be this guy. but a shock like that has 0 load on spring when the adjusting rings are screwed off the bottom.

mike657894 is correct.

People that do things like this should not be allowed to be out in the garage.

That's great. I built a spring compressor out of unistrut, plate steel and all-thread when I had to compress a spring/shock combo like that one.

Looks like a Harbor Freight welder and welding cart next to the workbench. Ought to tell you something...
