The coils on these trucks don't stretch very much. You could take the lower control arm loose & stand back if you had to. You can usually find a jack in the trunks of cars in these pull it yourself lots. You could raise the truck with one of their A-frames with chain hoist & set the lower arm down on a wheel or something.
