I am getting ready to remove my rear leaf springs on my 70 Charger RT so that I can have the aluminum spring eye bushings installed for my Cal Tracs
I am wondering if there is a quick way you guys use to removine the rear leaf springs...jacking up the car by the differential,placing stands under the rear part of frame,etc.....

A torch.

If your installing the Cal-Trac's then the easiest will be to jackup the car, Jackstands under the Front part of the frame rails. Pull the 8 Bolts for the (4 for each)rear Hanger. Disassemble the Shackle, push the old bushing out (Big C-Clamp and Pipe), Press the new bushing in. Buy new U-BOLTS before you attempt to drop the axle. Hack Saw, Sawzall, Torch the old U-Bolts off. The reason being is the Nuts on the U-Bolts are stamped and are a PITA to remove without Air Tools. Good Luck..

Disconnect E-Brakes, disconnect brake lines, drop the driveshaft, unbolt shocks from the rear-end, drop the springs at the hangers(both rear then front). roll it out from under and tackle the u bolts/shock-plates.

replace and

The way they did the cop car in American Graffiti.........

Do one side completely, then the other. That way you don't have to fight the rear end as much.

the higher you get the car in the air to work on the better. it sucks being cramped underneath.

I had to drop mine in the Dakota not too long ago. I jacked the body up until the rear was high enough with unsprung weight and the frame on jack stands. I then unbolted the springs and tapped the bolts out as far as I could without actually popping them out. With my floor jack under the pumpkin I finished removing the bolts on both sides. I only had to drop the rear part of my springs to change from an 7 1/4 to an 8 3/4 rear. Cut the u-bolts with a grinder and removed the rear and slid the new in. Hope this helps.

I was going to put jack stands under the differential axle housings and front snubber area to avoid disconnecting the brake lines....and if I do that do I even need to unbolt the driveshaft? I probably will unbolt the driveshaft anyway just to be safe.

Just did mine again.I out stands under the frame in frt on the frt hangers.Leave the floor jack under the center of the rear.Then i undo the Ubolts and shocks.The rear just sits on the jack,Then undo the spring hangers.Its easier to R&R the whole spring to change the bushings.Reinstall spring a helper is great for that.Let the rear down till it rests on the spring and install the ubolts and plates.Did mine with changing bushings in about an hour on the ground.Rocky
