Question about changing leaf springs....

[tcs69rt]

It's been since the 90s that I changed a set on my first Charger. To keep from killing myself please remind me if I am correct. Seems I had the car up on jackstands so the rear hung down. Then I think I raised the axle an inch or so to put 2 more jackstands under the axle to support it before unbolting the old springs? Does this seem correct? Thanks! TC

I've changed springs one at a time with a floor jack under the axle to keep it in place.
Your way would work just as well.

Since the replacement spring probably won't have the same arch, a jack under the housing on the side you're replacing allows you to position the housing up/down to match the spring's position.

Thanks for the advice!
