1975 Ranchero Front end Springs removal?
Hey Phil, Here how do i remove the front springs in my ranchero... i am going to swap out my old springs with some springs that are a little bit more heightened. I am aiming to get a bit more tire clearance when i get my new 15 inch rims. I'm sitting on 235/60/15 but my front end sits low.. i should be able to at least slide under my truck instead of only being able to slide under the back.

Raise really high, put on jack stands!!!!<O</O
Pull wheels off, remove shocks, put safety chain around and through lower control arm, spring and frame so spring does not come flying out if something happens.<O</O
Place floor jack under lower control arm, almost touching, remove lower control arm inner nut, not the bolt yet, break lower ball joints loose, but leave nut on. <O</O
Raise jack to compress spring a little<O</O
Remove balljoint nut, wire spindle/brake assembly out of the way.<O</O
You may have to pull caliper so you don’t over stress the brake hose. <O</O
Drive out lower control arm bolt, being careful not to bump jack<O</O
Remove safety chain and slowly lower floor jack.<O</O
Good luck, be careful, coil springs can be dangerous.<O</O
