[Gold Digger]

The way I did the springs on the old jeep was to weld a couple of pieces of steel on a heavy piece of flat steel about 4 inches apart and another piece of steel to set a small bottle jack on just the right distance down. I marked the springs with soap stone every 2 inches before I disassembled them for reference points. This worked real well and didn't take any ferret at all to bend. I remember having to de-arch some to get it to fit back in the spring eyes.
