Default compressing rear spring

Just wanted to thank Jim Parker from Toronto Canada for his good advise in regards to compressing the rear spring(all ten). I attached the main spring by hand with minor wrestling. I greased each spring and attached Teflon tape. I inserted a 12 inch piece of threaded rod and compressed the springs, with a box end and one finger, down to where I could clamp them and install the factory nut and bolt. Then I alternated clamps and center bolt till I could insert the assembly on the frame and finish up with the u-bolts. All very easily done with control. I kept a safety chain wrapped around the springs threw the process. Very good technique!
Thanks Jim
