Rear suspension question

I am coming near a close with the rebuild of my rear suspension, and now I am a little bit worried on the order of what I should reconnect first. With my rebuilt trailing arms in place, what should I connect first, Strut rods, Half Shafts, Spring, or Shocks?

i think i worked my way from the inside, out.

bolted in the spring to the diff, put both TAs on, then half shafts, shocks, and finally struts and sway bar.

That will work just fine.

half shaft

The spring will get in your way with just about everything else IMHO.
