when you take the stock springs out dont remove the spindles they will catch the spring as it flys out. for the rear drop the whole rear end by taking the upper and lower control arms off and put in top bolts to shocks then lift the rear until the bottom lines up. make sure the spring is orriented the same way as the stock ones came out.

you dont need to take the uppers and lowers off the rearend.All you need to do is unbolt the shock(in this case replace it at this time)and lower it down that will give you enought room to remove old spring and replace it with the new ones.
