I knew one side was goin to be easy but once the one spring was in, the other side was going to be a bitch without a spring compressor unless you practicly remove the whole rearend driveline and all. Did you have to remove the bumps and spacers at all or did the spring fall in like was said earlier. A 4.5 inch spring with a spring relocator is equivelent to a at least 5.5 inch tall spring without a relocator. Thats alot of spring to fit in a tight space.
    Good point about only one falling out on the trail! I did not have to remove the bumpstops. I'm glad too, because that's a real PIA with the relocators. Not much access to the bolt holding the bumpstops in place.
