This is a great method. Not to cavil, but you might feel safer with 3 rods.
2 are plenty, but it just looks a bit dodgy!

Replace one bolt at a time and install 2  3/8 all thread rods about  
12" long with a flat washer and nut on each end.  Then remove the two  
other bolts holding the plate to the lower control arms. Then start  
loosening up the two long threaded rods.  This will lower the shock  
plate and then you can remove the spring. This will also work to re  
install the springs.
