Shock replacement is probably best performed with the wheels on ramps.

Randy, I've got to pull the rear springs this weekend on the SDL.
Is there a danger in removing the shock and then raising the back of the vehicle up using the diff?
Without the shock in place, the trailing arms will continue downward until?????
Can the spring go ballistic without the shock as a stop?? I would think that the trailing arm must have some additional stop, other than the shock???
The wheels must, obviously, be unloaded to remove the spring. You can't unload the wheels without something stopping the trailing arm. You can't have the shock stop the trailing arm because it must be removed to pull the spring.
