REALLY???
You can do it all by hand. Subaru uses only enough preload to keep the springs seated. It's even easier if you have a buddy. Get everything aligned, then one person pushes down on the tophat and the other gets the nut started. From there you can use hand tools. Hell, I'm 250lbs so I was able to do it myself. There's no need to do something silly like lowering a car onto a disassembled strut.
