I keep hearing about this "long bolt" technique and just don't quite
understand. If you can trust your floor jack to raise a car that has 4
springs, why not trust the same jack to raise an a-arm that has just 1
spring. You just jack it into position and connect the outer fulcrum and
the upper piece that goes to the shock arm. This bolt stuff is a pretty
complicated way to do something that seems pretty simple.

Use a really long pair of bolts, and screw the bottom plate up with
the long bolts, compressing the springs as you go. Once the plate is
flush with the A-arm, use 2 short bolts on the other two holes. Once
snug, remove the long bolts, and replace with two more short ones.
quick and easy.
