Question: WHILE VEHICLE IS UP IN AIR ON MY LIFT, DO I NEED TO USE A SPRING COMPRESSOR BEFORE REMOVING TRAILING ARMS? IS THERE ANY DANGER ASSOCIATED WITH SIMPLY UNBOLTING THE TRAILING ARMS FROM FRONT OR REAR OF ARMS?

They aren't loaded up like the fronts but you still have to be careful. I put axle stands under the axle and use my floor jack to lower the trailing arm slowly. They are bolted to the trailing arm as well so they won't go flying.
