You will find that putting a jack under the spring will only serve to lift
the whole car.
I use a couple of very large C clamps  ... 1 to hold one side of the rear
axle casing to the frame rail and the other to pull the spring up to the
axle casing on the other side.
Plan and proceed carefully ... there is a lot of energy stored in that
spring as you tighten the C clamp.

Hello

An interesting chore.

Plus at the same time as fitting the rear axle you need to install the Panh=
ard rod which I have found to be a real pain in the bum.

I became very friendly with both my trolley jack as well as a screw type bo=
ttle jack. Yes lift the individual springs up with a jack until you can sta=
rt the threads, but I wouldn=E2=80=99t do them up until the very end. It ma=
y help if the springs were not tightened completely. After both sides are d=
one up by just a few threads it=E2=80=99s time for the bottle jack to be us=
ed horizontally and braced up against a wall or some other immovable object=
 and using some blocks of wood. Gently push the whole rear axle from the pa=
ssenger side (for right hand drive cars) across until the Panhard rod goes =
into place. You may have to also loosen up the triangular plate that the ro=
d fits through. Be careful that you don=E2=80=99t push the whole rear of th=
e car off the stands so it might be useful to brace the chassis on the othe=
r side with more wood against another immovable object. After all that it=
=E2=80=99s a matter of tightening all the fasteners.

Worked for me and I was doing it myself.

I used urethane bushes for the Panhard rod ... didn't want to do that

            same time as fitting the rear axle you need to install the

        <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I became
            very friendly with both my trolley jack as well as a screw
            type bottle jack. Yes lift the individual springs up with a
            jack until you can start the threads, but I wouldn’t do them
            up until the very end. It may help if the springs were not
            tightened completely. After both sides are done up by just a
            few threads it’s time for the bottle jack to be used
            horizontally and braced up against a wall or some other
            immovable object and using some blocks of wood. Gently push
            the whole rear axle from the passenger side (for right hand
            drive cars) across until the Panhard rod goes into place.
            You may have to also loosen up the triangular plate that the
            rod fits through. Be careful that you don’t push the whole
            rear of the car off the stands so it might be useful to
            brace the chassis on the other side with more wood against
            another immovable object. After all that it’s a matter of
            tightening all the fasteners.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

            <p class="MsoNormal">OK, so I am very familiar with
              Bugeyes.  It is no problem attaching the differential to a
              quarter elliptical leaf spring.  Today I finished the
              installation of the leaf springs on my BN2 and with the
              help of my son we muscled the differential (with the
              pumpkin) kind of in place above the two frame rails. 
              Excuse my ignorance, but what is the procedure to bring
              the attachment point on the axle in contact with the
              center of the leaf spring?  As it sits right now I am
              having a tough time figuring this out.  Do I jack up the
              center of the leaf spring with a jack until the u-bolt can
              get the nuts started?  When I got this basket case, the
              rear end was held in with a come-a-long  and the leaf
              springs were gone, by just cutting them off with a torch. 
              No experience here guys.  Just a suggestion or two would
              be great.<o:p></o:p></p>

Don´t jack up the spring, can be dangerous. Jack up the car.
