I would install the springs afterward with the spring compressor.
Does this make sense?

The point about this is that you don't bugger up your trailing arm bushings... I worked out you could get it all level by putting the diff on a bit of wood (sorry I know... wood again) to get the correct horizontal height. I admit I didn't attach the axles until later - I'm hoping that won't make too much difference - we'll see!
I put the springs in last after I got everything aligned.
