The stock springs are very long and are an atrocious pain to remove. You can disconnect the swaybar and the brakes and let it "fall" but then the tierod will hold it up. Be careful with the spring compressors, I had one break on me while removing it from the spring and the spring grazed my elbow as the 30 lb piece of metal _shot_ across my yard. I'm lucky I didnt break anything. These things could easily kill/dismember you!
I recommend... Get the a arm as low as it will go, get a long plank of wood, stick it behind the spring and use the wood as a lever. This lets you stand far clear of action and the spring will eject downward. This is how I remove my c-springs. You may need to put a little compression on them to get them to come out even with this.
Um....have fun!
