I am likely gonna be killing myself trying to put the springs on myself with minimal tools....I did go out and buy some more tools last night...hope to get it done today....
the trick i used was to disconnect the shocks and the rear panhard bar (the one behind the axle that is parrallel to the axle...i think thats call the panhard bar), put the jack under the pumpkin, lowerd the axle, then have i pushed down on the end while a friend "unscrewed" the spring from the seat. i had a harder time getting the torsion bars out of the arms.


edit:, ive heard of people using bottle jacks between the frame and axle to push it down, however i couldnt find a spot on mine to do that
