Yes, LOL. The springs are only shackled at one end. If you support the spring the shackle can be removed and then the fixed end. Take a look at it and you should be able to see how it goes together (and comes apart).

From the manual:

Raise the truck frame until the weight is off the springs but so the wheels still remain on the floor. Remove the nuts from the lower shackle bolt and drive the bolts from the shackle and bracket. Remove the nuts from the two U-bolts which secure the spring to the axle.
