Jack up the car and support the car with jack stands. Put the stands under the frame rails to be specific. This will let the rear end sag all the way down and will allow you to unbolt the shocks from each side of the rear end while supporting it with a jack so it doesnt fall on top of you. After the shocks are out slowly let the rear end sag down to remove the tension on the springs. Pull the springs out and note how they come out so you can put them back EXACTLY how you removed them. Then unbolt the lcas from the rear and body. Installation is the reverse of removal. Pretty simple and straight-forward.

I probably forgot a step or two but that is the basic idea. Good thing we have 5000+ members so someone can chime in [Big Grin]

Keep in mind you may have to disconnect your cat-back to gain access to the forward mounting bolts. For whatever reason, most exhause shops can't comprehend the fact that you MAY need to remove these sometime...and weld-in muff's hella close to the outboard frame rails. [Frown]
