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.
