I was able to place the new spring by myself by compressing the spring, pushing it up and supporting it from the bottom with a roll of duct tape.

What is the roll of tape? I just bought a pair of air spring and plan to do it in coming days, but I do not find any roll of tape on the new air springs. Please give me s hint on this. Thanks!
