Drop the top mount, detach the top mount, slide off spring, replace, replace, replace.
the rear sway may need to be disconnected, as well as the front long bolt. But that's the way I've done it.

There are other methods, the problem in the front will be getting enough droop to get access to the top hat...I cant remember if I had to pull the long bolt or not, but you could disconnect the knuckle if anything...hell even disconnecting the sway bar up front might be enough.
but that's what I did to swap on my replace springs in the rear on my teins a few weeks back.

He's saying that his sway bar mount reinforcements are in the way of removing the long bolt. Pull one sway bar link on each end and have your fat friend stand on the hub. You should be able to flex the bushings enough to flip the shock out of the upper control arm.

So two people were discussing 300 lb springs, and you were just thinking to yourself, "My setup is harsh, 300 lbs springs would be nice," so then you proceeded to post the last three words of your intimate thought, without any real context or relation to that of what djp or spooky were discussing?
is that correct?
