USING  THE PROPER JACKSTANDS UNDER CAR:
1  remove shock 1st! and   swaybar if present.
2   back off LBJ  nut
3    Using picklefork  separate LBJ
4  Add  spring compressors  [one on each side for those "safety minded" FOLKS]
5  using  IMPACT  wrench  compress spring
6  remove LBJ nut  completely
7  stand back while the spring falls out...
8   report to principals office for detention!



Of course, some folks remove the upper shock nut, loosen the nut on the  LBJ, 
Jack the car up a little to semi-unload the ball joint, use the pickle fork  
to pop the joint loose, and jack the car up off the springs,  using the  shock 
as a spring retainer until unloading is complete. But that's just some  
folks. I like to drop the whole suspension out! -  Seth
