That's not an easy job.=20
Before tackling it try to determine that the springs that you are installin=
g are reasonably close to spec. as it is a real pain to have to change them=
if they aren't.Put the axle in position, preferably without the brake back=
plates installed, then install the springs without attaching them to the a=
xle. Sometimes after attaching the front you have to put a wood block above=
the rear end of the spring and jack up the center to get the rear shackle =
pins in place. You may need a heavy person to sit in the trunk to prevent t=
he car from lifting as you do this.
Next use a couple of very stout zip ties to tie the axle down tightly to th=
e frame on one side.=20
Then on the other side use a very large and strong "C" clamp to pull the sp=
ring up to the axle. which will allow you to install the square shaped "U" =
bolts. (the wire ties are required to prevent the axle pivoting up on the o=
pposite frame rail as you do this "C" clamp thing. (Take care and your time=
as there is a lot of stored energy in that compressed spring)Leaving the z=
ip ties in place repeat the "C" clamp process on the other side.=20
The bad news about this=C2=A0 is that the new springs will sag after a coup=
le of years and eventually you will have to repeat the entire process!!!
