Here are the pictures. Not many I was too busy helping and the whole thing didn't take much more than 15 minutes. Everything went very smooth. I had everything ready and staged before the help showed up. We rolled the chassis outside at the last minute because of the threat of rain.
We are starting to lift the body off of the body dolly
With the body high enough we rolled the dolly out and turned it on its side so we could get passed the chassis and outside out of the way
We raised the body up enough to roll the chassis under it and started lowering it
Body all the way down
New rear spring
New front springs
Can't get the bolt out to install the new shocks
Looks like I'll be lifting it again just enough to correct my "little" mistake.
In closing I must say 2 years ago I was a lot more nervous lifting the body off than putting it back on a couple of days ago. Maybe I was just real lucky but I don't know how it could have gone any easier or faster. It's a pretty straight process "lift, roll, and lower".
