p1200028.jpg With the lower shock bolt removed, you can compress the shock as much as possible to get it out of your way for the rest of the project.

You may also lower the floor jack to the point where the leaf spring is not compressed and the floor jack is barely providing support underneath the axle. The leaf spring will prevent the axle from drooping all the way to the floor if you fully compress your floor jack. The goal here is to release compression on the leaf spring for later steps, but still leave the front axle supported by the floor jack.
