The main idea was to support the caliper when removed from the rotor so it doesn't hang by the brake line. A person can hook the caliper to the torsion bar in front or to the coil spring in back, or you can turn a bucket upside down and set the caliper on it - the main point is to not stress the brake line with the weight of the caliper.
Per Ford Specification:
Suspension - Front (4x2/4x4)
Independent unequal-length control arms, torsion bars, shock absorbers and stabilizer bar
Suspension - Rear (4x2/4x4)
Non-independent live axle, coil springs, shock absorbers and stabilizer bar
Hope that clarifies things a bit.

Ok I just changed the pads and rotors on my 2000 expy. had no problem what so ever. if you only changed the pads then the caliper can stay on. my rotors came right off. now if your talking about the back brakes then I can see the trouble with the rotors..
That's great that it was so easy. I hope mine is that easy next time.
