Guide on replacing rear Leaf spring bump stops?

Hi,
(2003 Excursion with 7.3L)
Been doing some searching to see if I could find this without creating my own post - but can't seem to find anything that outlines how to replace the rear bump stops that are mounted on the read leaf springs? It would seem the rear end may need to be lifted off the ground to get enough clearance to install the new ones (and in my case, only remove the one that's still there)...

Thanks!

Correct. You must lift it up by the frame to release tension on the spring enough to get the new ones in.
