Newbie needs help 4x4 going 2wd

Hey Guys,

I'm in the process of switch my 68 stepside 4x4 to a 2wd. My current questions is (i'm sure I'll have more) I have a front cross member still attached to a cut front portion of frame and I need to disassemble it but there is tension on the coils. How do I go about removing the coil with out any engine weight to keep the coils compressed while removing the spindle nuts?? Could i just take a sawzall to the coil and hope it all stays in the spring pocket??? any suggestion would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Rex

rex855and from Ohio... I can't be of much help but it might be wiser to sell your 4x4 and purchase a 2wd if that's the direction that you want to go. You will get a lot of opinions on this one. JMHO Good Luck!
