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). |

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 |
