if you have access to a torch then you can just heat the bottom loop on the spring and let it fall. i did that once when i was young on a 68. i had my cousin stand next to the wheel wheel with a yard stick and let me know where i was, i droped it a little at a time so it would not get uneven. takes about 15min and you dont have to take the springs out. put new shocks under it, had the front end allighnment checked and i drove that truck like that for 3 years. we didnt have fancy lowering kits for them back then. you had to use your imagination and go to town.
