bigger spring for the back wind up the front..

Jack up the back , wheels off, shocks off then let the axle down till the springs are away from the body . Oh if you've got ARBs then take them off too.
Stick your spring packer thing in there and jack up the axle again, re fit shockers etc :thumbs

Don't talk to me about springs. My Zed has just been diagnosed with BOTH rear springs busted at only 37k miles. Dealer wants £180 just for the TWO springs and another £100-odd to fit the buggers.

Yet Eibach - highly respected spring manufacturer - will do a set of FOUR lowered (30mm) springs of superior quality for around £140 which I can get fitted (all four) in Welsh Wales for the same money.....how dumb is that?:doh
