Coil Spring help!!

How do you remove a front coil spring on a 1990 4x4? I have the bottom nut off, what next?

I assume you have everything out of the way.

You need one of two things. Either a coil spring compressor, or a jack.

If you use the coil spring compressor, let the suspension fully compress sitting on the ground, insert and tighten compressor, extend suspension with a jack or whatever, and the spring comes right out.

If you just use the jack, remove the front shock, then lift the truck up until the tire is off the ground and the coil spring should come right out.
