Or use the threaded bolt tool through the top bolt which is even quicker as its just one nut to wind up and down. Have used both methods several times and prefer the single bolt idea as its easier to align the dust shroud over the rising stub axle (getting the top bolt in means its all aligned)seen a few damaged dust shrouds through misalignment.
I just use the jack to lower the kingpin and the single top bolt to pull everything up into alignment. The twin bolt method I find to be a bit of a faff TBH.
I think the twin-bolt method was evolved to cope with rebound springs that were under high levels of compression - which a properly set-up suspension won't have anyway.
Another great advantage with the Suplex front suspension is no compression on the front springs when jacked up.
I agree that winding down on threaded bar takes for ever on some of the front springs. However, when using a jack to lower the king pin it always runs the risk of it kicking out.
Did it once and ran out of drop on the jack. Quite challenging as I therefore did not have a jack to raise the car to get it out.
