If your changing shocks just drop the axle down a bit and pop the springs in.

Is it just a case of removing the bottom shock bolt and the diagonal upper link and slipping the old spring out and new spring in?

When i did my +2" shocks i still had to use spring compressors.
Chassis jacked up high, both wheels off, ARB disconnected, Panhard disconnected, shocks disconnected and i still couldn't get the old springs off without compressing. (i hate spring compressors). |

had to compress the +3 springs a bit to get them back in but didn't have to strip down all the axle to get them off must just be lucky

Spring compressors
 get out of here As above, just undo the stupid ARB . Then drop the panhard rod. Bin the socks and out drop da coils  Just mind the brake flexi pipes though. You can undo the flexi pipe holder on the trailing arm for plenty of room. Steering mods defo You'll need a s/h steering box to butcher, er I mean , trim  I can mod the drag link and steering arms for you
