So to answer your question, go to Home Depot and buy a 4 foot wrecking bar which you will use as a pry bar. You will figure out how to apply the bar to the trailing arm to release tension on the spring. Press down on the bar with all your weight and manly strength while your buddy grabs the spring and yanks it out.

Okay thanks for the heads up. Also, is it better to have both sides lifted? And possible disconnect the sway bar to allow more give?
