Well heres what I did I loosened up the top and bottom bolts while the truck was still on the ground. If you can't get a ratchet in between the coils then you will have to jack it up. Now place the jack under the frame just behind the cab, lift until the tires are off the ground what this does is decompress the springs then place jackstands near to where the jack is, then remove upper and lower bolts and retainers. I jusk tapped them with a rubber mallet swinging away from my direction so they fell inward worked great for me! Good Luck
