The only real way to do it is seperate the lower ball joint with a jack under the control arm and SLOWLY lower the jack until the spring comes out then in the reverse order put your spring in and jack it back up and put the ball joint nut back on and cotterpin. Check the ball joints while your in there. Its not fun to break on on the road.

They are another way. Jack up the truck put it on jackstands remove wheel put jack under a-arm remove the two U-bolts on the lower control arm shaft also the bolt on the bottom of shock and slowly lower the jack remove old spring and install new.
