Front Spring Removal

Im out of state in Knoxville TN for the holiday.

As luck would have it I find some front end parts I want, I have limited tools with me.

The truck is sitting on jacks with the front suspension hanging free.

Can I drop the lower bolt off the spring without that spring shooting out and killing everyone?

Anyone know what size socket I need to remove the bolt? I will have to buy it.

Thanks

If you use a jack under the axle and then take the bolt loose and then lower the jack down. Sorry I do not know the size off the top of my head.
