Replacing rear adjustable struts question
Question is do I really need to release the composite spring from the trailing arms to accomplish this or can I leave it attached?
Thanks,
Steve

If the rear is raised and the composite spring is fully relaxed where the spring bolts have no tension on them, then I would say no. I'd probably 'get them out of the way' simply because they are so quick and easy to remove.

Well the rear is up but there is still tension on it and I was concerned on the force on the yoke clips inside the diff. I think you have a good point to get them out of the way but then I need to get them up out of the way to clear the inner strut bolts for removal
I guess just remove the whole spring assembly would be best.....I'll just drink a beer and think about it some more
