Just did this not too long ago. You need a floor jack, bottle jack and a c=
argo strap. Put the floor jack under the spring and axle and place the flo=
or jack under the spring with the u-bolt plate in place. Wrap the strap un=
der the jack and over the axle and connect it to itself in a tight loop. A=
ll you need to do then is to pump up the bottle jack and it lifts the sprin=
g right up to the axle. Make sure the plate is positioned correctly so the=
peg on the bottom of the spring goes into the hole in the u-bolt plate. A=
lso remember to position the strap so it is not in the way when you put the=
u-bolts in place. Easy peasy. See attached photos.
