JIC Cross owners, spanner wrench?
Does one need the spanner that JIC sells to adjust the spring perches on the Cross coilovers, or will any coilover spanner work?
Would
this one or
this one work?
Thanks

I used a Bilstein one on mine. Just need to get the right size (or adjustable). Not sure what they are offhand.

Don't know if the linked one will work or not
but
I have both the Bilstein and JIC wrenchs, the Bilstein don't fit the JICs very well, I suppose you could use them but I wouldn't want too.

Thank you guys!
The spanners are backordered from JIC, I guess I will wait...

Screw it, just use a screwdriver and hammer. Maybe a bit ghetto, but I wouldn't spend $40 on a shock wrench.

You've got to be joking! Buy the correct wrench and treat the collars with care. You don't need to lock the two collars together, you just need to snug them.

I have found that the JICs lock nuts loosen up and strut will clunk.
