Default Press for Shocks?

Can someone post a link to a picture of the press that I need to change the bolts on my shocks? I have an idea of what I need but not sure.

Thanks, soon I'll have pics of the lowered XBones!

Go to this website for direction, another guy on here, said he used a floor jack and his trailer hitch, on his truck, to compress the shock.

another member on here used his truck tire and the concrete curb out side

Just do not be careless as it requires some serious pressure....
