Default rear springs

O.K. I want to take my prokit spring off the rear and put stock w/hose mod I tried search but not working.Whats the easiest way to do that? Also do I use 1/2 or 5/8 heater hose?

Jack car up.

Support under frame rails so rear end can 'hang'.

Undo the bottom of the shocks.

Remove existing prokit springs and rubber isolater.

Use 5/8 heater hose on stock springs. Spray inside with white lithium grease so it 'slides' on easier. Leave 1/2" of hose past the end of the coil.

Install new springs.

Hook shocks back up.

Enjoy!

ps - no need to remove wheels/tires to do this.

Yes. So it's not metal on metal.
