Default Re: Spring pad question

I have had the rear suspension aprart a couple of times. Once to lower and then again last week to install the camber kit. Sorry but I didn't take any pictures. If you just start working on it, it will become obvious. Set the emergency brake and then jack like you are removing a wheel. Once the wheel is off you can put a jack stand under the frame somewhere safe and then reposition the jack so the it supports the lower control arm. I think I found a good jacking point just a little farther out than the rear spring. A floor jack works best and go up an down slowly. you are using the jack to remove the spring without a spring compressor. On the rear you are jacking the spring out and then back in. The fronts are a whole different nightmare. the rears are very easy.
