Spring lift

[cookiedan@domain.elided (Daniel Nees)]

I remember some things. The rear axle doesn't move forward at all. 
I don't see any problems with the drive shaft.
I torched the upper frame bushings out. If you do that, be sure to cover
the fuel lines with something non flamable and put something on the
other side of the eye toward the fuel tank. I used a air chisel to get
the inner sleave out. It isn't easy. You may want to try to remove one
of the bushings out of the old springs as practice.
