Removing Rear Springs

How easy is it to get at the rear springs?

I'm considering puting some rubber tubing on the parts that contact the mounts to help get rid of that dang rear end squeak.

Don't have a lot of shop tools, but I've got a jack and two stands.

REALLY easy.

Just load the rear, unbolt the bolts for the shocks, then lower the rear the springs will fall out. Thats it.

you might also have to unbolt your swaybar end links. If you do, you'll most likely break em . Get poly links and put a little anti-seize on the threads
