You need some big jack stands to jack the frame up so the tire is off the ground. Remove the tire. Disconnect the swaybar and disconnect to rear shock mounts and push down on the axle.
I needed a another jack (bottle) bewteen the axle and the frame on the front as well.
On the front shocks, whenyou take off the bottom bolt, you need a big pliers to hold the shock in place or it will spin. I think Nakman said to remove the top bolt on the front, but I thought the bottom was easier.
Remember that the longer spring goes with the longer side of the axle (one is slightly longer)
It took me 3 hours, but it would have taken probably half the time to do just what I said. I had to rig something for my smaller jack stands and did one spring at a time. Then I had to repeat step #6 to evaluate it's safety.
