Agree with Spanner Juggler, I have had several telecons with Mulfab and have received really good advice on springs, etc. They supplied the front and rear springs for my +8 recently.
If you trawl back through some of the emails, I posted pics of a tool I used during a singlehanded fit of the springs. In this case it was front end first and then using a homemade tool pulled the rear end bush down to pop the bolt in. Alternatively follow the flow and get someone to help press down on the front - ie rear end bolted up first.
Before fitting, worthwhile considering soaking in heavy oil and wrapping with Denso tape to keep water out/keep well lubricated. Very messy but I think it helps protect the springs longterm. Probably also good idea to replace the securing U-bolts tighten initially and then recheck torque as they tend to "settle" in. Also makes it quicker to remove old springs by cutting U-bolts with a cutting disc rather than struggle to loosen the nuts which are very tight.
...................and you'll need the fuel tank, etc out.
Best of luck
