Been a while since I've done it, but it's a pain, you gotta lift the vehicle, support the frame on stands, then drop the rear axle till it comes away from the leaves, removing the shocks for extra room, the center pin in the pack will require replacement since it travels through all of the springs, obviously new U-bolts.
