    If it were mine I'd drop the driveshaft and have one person on each wheel so that when you release the pressure on one side it doesn't try to switch sides. Personally the safest way, IMHO, is to drop the drivesahft and brake line and drop it down by undoing the shackles.

    Just to remove the spacers?? No way is that safer imho. Leave the springs connected to the shackles and lift from the center of the pumpkin then there's no way it'll flip in the 2 inches you remove, then bolt it back up.

    When you release the pressure on one side and that side jumps into the wheelwell and takes with it anything in the way you'll understand, been there done that. And that was on my 66 Mustang which is the same suspension he is working on.
