    Since I have the hitch mount, I suppose I could use that as a lift point when I get around to lifting?

    i used tone's hitch to lift my vx off of a rock in a pinch.. but he rates the tounge weight at 500 lbs.. i dunno seems risky... why not just lift by the differential and put jack stands back there, if the wheels are off like they need to be to get to the springs you shouldnt have a problem

    Lifting by the diff will keep the springs compressed making them really really really really really difficult to remove.
    However, you could lift it at the diff, place jackstands under the frame rails and then lower the jack to drop the diff to full droop (after removing the shock bolt). Then the the springs will drop right out!
