drop the sway bar brackets from the frame....... remove the brake callipers..... remove the trace bar from frame mount.... (may also need to remove the drag-link from the drop-pitman arm) Just make sure your axle is free floating with the control arms still connected and just lift the springs out, and put the spacers in.... you may need to coax the coils back in with a pry bar, and use it like a wedge to slide the coils back into their buckets but its a quic way that i've done a number of times without issue
