WELL! I certainly do not RR rear springs this way. BUT! I am changing in +8 Bitsa from 5 leaf to 6 leaf and I will try it Your way. I have done rear springs so many times that if I need to I can do it in a day (or maybe a little bit longer). At first glimmer I see some benefits and disadvantages. But until I try it Your way I am "Whistling Dixie". Thanks for Your efforts.
Button what is your method ?
I have replaced the bushes in the end of the leaves previously when the body was off the car which made it easy.
I now need to replace the springs, with the body on, Daves method of clamping will not work on my 1971 car as the battery tray is full width supported on the chassis rails so there is no room for clamps to be fitted. I was thinking of a long lever clamped or bolted over the front of the springs enabling me to push the spring down in order to fit the bolt through the chassis and spring.
