Abstract: A method of providing an above bumper tow hook to a front of a pickup truck. Most such tow hooks are chassis mounted. However, they are all mounted underneath the bumper. The disadvantage is that when mired in snow or mud, one cannot access the tow hooks to attach any sort of tow cable to enable the vehicle to be towed. The method introduced herein deals with this issue by mounting the tow hook above the bumper. This entails manipulating the front fascia which sets down directly on the bumper. Also disclosed is a tow hook used in the method.

Abstract: A mechanical adaptor to enable the motorization of an otherwise non-motorized strut compressor for use in assembling and disassembling a strut assembly of the type having a shock absorber axially disposed within a coil spring. The adaptor when used in combination with an electric pipe threader and an otherwise non-motorized strut compressor enables a method for the motorized compression and release of strut springs using the otherwise non-motorized strut compressor.

Abstract: A method and tool assembly (10) for unloading and reloading spring energy from a torsion bar (11) in a torsion bar suspension system of a motor vehicle. The tool assembly (10) includes a generally C-shaped body (14) having a screw shaft (24) threaded through a boss (22) in a lower section (18) thereof. An anti-rotation stem (38) includes a knurled flat face (40) which increases versatility of the tool assembly (10) by enabling anti-slip operation with various vehicle types. A counter-torque tool perch (46) extends from the lower section (18) of the tool body (14) for applying a counter-rotational torque to the body (14) during use of the tool assembly (10).

Abstract: A lift option kit that allows the user to alter the vertical suspension lift of a vehicle.

Abstract: A device and method for providing extension capability to an installable shock absorber for a vehicle.
