Does this look right?? One corner done on lift.

Yea...I have a Calmini kit that came with the ORW when I purchased her.

This comes with shocks as well as springs.

Calmini seem "known" for the springs compressing over time.....
.........perhaps part of my problem.

I zip tied both rear coils with double ties through the hole in the bottom seating "cup" after the coil spat out....no problem since.

I think Jofotz dropped a spring recently, didn't he? I don't know what shocks he has though either. My springs are not tied up but I think they should probably be based on what Spazz told me.

If you have stock shocks, jack your truck up on the rear frame member (L or R) until one rear tire comes off the ground.
Then lower it onto a jack-stand.
Now try to get the spring out with the shock still attached.
Let me know how it goes...

Dub...ya missed two vital first steps...



If it were me, I would provide......

A gallon of Vodka

Park up at the Red Rock on a "quiet" Tuesday evening!

Then......get you and Jay to:-

Jack up the rear end high enough to provide full droop of the rear suspension.
Set the frame on jack-stands.
Remove the tires.
Remove the lower shock mounts.
(Being able to lift & lower the axle with a floor jack makes getting the lower shock mounts off much easier.)
Apply some downward pressure (Brittnay, here's where you help) on the top of the axle & the spring should come out with a little pull.
Reverse process to install.

I stand most humbly corrected...WHAT WAS I THINKING???

I must be getting old & feeble in the head...
