aren't those arms under some serious down force from the springs?

Jared,
Fantastic write-up, but I was hoping to find some information in regards to the coil springs. This will be my first time swapping my trailing arm bushings and just looking at them, I really feel as if i should compress the coils first before removing any bolts from the trailing arms. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those arms under some serious down force from the springs? Thanks a million.

No there is not much tension with the car in the air and the suspension suspended. Remove the outside trailing arm bolt first. If you are still concerned put a long metal bar up through the middle of the spring and that should hold it captive
