gotta unbolt the shocks to get the spring out as far as I know.

but if you can get the chasis high enough, unbolt the lower shock mount, (with a jack under the rear end) and then lower the rear untill the springs come out.

that should work,

I have an online procedure for replacing springs and shocks at the same time. If you are just doing springs, ignore the parts about accessing and loosening the top of the shocks.
