So what is the plan Stan?

1. Measure ride height
2. Jack up the rear
3. unload the springs by winding down them & the adjusters I thought this was really cool up in Seatle. On the DMS at least, with gloves on, and the lock nut spun away, you can rotate the entire spring, and adjuster instead of using the stupid wrenches.
4. pop the top nut. Did you leave the stupid dome cap off the top of your rear towers?
5. Rotate the thing out?
6. swap springs, and reverse...

Might have to disconnect the end links to get it to rotate. Probably do that before jacking it up?
