changing rear springs.

i searched and could only find how to do the fronts. it looks pretty simple, but i just wanted to know exactly what to take off since ill be doing this in my gravel driveway. can you just take off the shocks, or do you need to remove the upper bars on the 4 link?

thanks

all you need to do is jack teh car up, put it on stands and make sure the rear end is free. get a spring compressor and compres the rear springs and they'll come right out. install is just as easy if you have the spring compressor.
