[alfa] Re: [alfa] How High-Rear Suspension?

Jason....
    Just put the rear high enough to lift the tires, put jack stands under
the axel, remove the wheels, put the jack under the control arm to relieve
tension on the rear bolt, remove the bolt and lower shock nut and lower
away....you can pull the shock to the side and slide the spring out....
