easy way to replace trailing arms?
 
ok so I'm new at this, I cannot for the life of me figure out what the best way to remove my old trailing arms is to replace them. i have been having one head ache after another trying to pull everything off just to get to the u bolt to take that off and its rusted through solid. so i have to cut it off I have tried everything else. but what is the best way to jack it up or leave it down? any help would be great thanks.

frame on stands, axle on jack or shorter stands. cut U-bolts. remove brake cable clips. remove or cut spring lower cup bolts. remove front bolts and slide arms out. reverse to install.

it's a bit easier with the bed off and out of the way too// gives you a great chance to clean up and paint the rear half of the frame at the same time
