Just hang. I built tall jack stands for frame to make it easier.

Un bolt top spring holders. Un bolt top of shock. Lift front of truck by the frame horns, once there is a gap (top of spring and tower), there is no tension on springs, and remove. Simple.

Watch the brake line so you don't stretch it. If you need a little more, undo the anchor bolt as the steel lines flex pretty good.

This is how I did mine. Used two large jacks under the frame rail , then used two hydraulic jacks under the axle, so I could control the axle drop.
