Everything i've read and everyone i've talked to says to disconnect the shocks, and then just let the rearend down and the springs will come right out, well I did that, and they're not coming out and I almost had the rearend sitting on the floor! Do I need a spring compressor or are they supposed to just come right out?

 

Stock rearend? On my 9" rear its harder to remove the springs cause the center of where the spring sits is taller.

 

disconnect the sway bar from the body. sometimes that holds it up too.

 

Whoops, I failed to mention that when I gave you directions. You'll only need to disconnect it where it connects through the bushings on the frame.

 

Alrighty, guess i'll be doing this another day, hehe.
