Default Re: Removing rear spring

The first picture is when I was putting it back together...you don't need it very high, I used a couple fairly tall jack stands. The bed is off because I also replaced the rear cross member..

You will need to support the axle also..I used short jack stands for that.

Do as Les recommends and contain that spring with sturdy c-clamps and chains. Do not assume that the center bolt will hold it together.

I removed some leaves so I also removed and replaced the bolt..
