Need quick: SLS shock/spring removal
My daily driver 560 caught fire the other day, I only have 2 days to salvage what I can from it before its off to the crusher. I need the SLS shocks and springs off of it to swap into my new one that the old owner removed them on (I do a lot of towing and SLS is basically required).
From the DIYs it looks like a spring compressor is not required, and I can just unbolt the subframe and shocks while its supported with jacks. Can someone summarize the exact procedure please? I have no need to keep things in alignment or reassemble, so any shortcuts would be helpful as well. Thank you.

Nvm, got it done today. Not as difficult as I thought it was going to be, and looks to be pretty simple to install as long as I get a spring compressor.

Not sure how similar your rear end is to my 190 but all I did was put the car on stands, unbolted the lower control arm on the inbound side and lowered it down with my jack till the spring was lose. Replace doing the opposite. No compressor needed.
