I'm in the process of removing the rear springs. The axle is out, now I just have to remove the springs. The jack-stands are currently under the spring plates.

where is the best place to support the rear end of the car while removing the springs?

Thanks,

David
 
David,
i left my jack stands under the spring plates and worked around them. Once you remove the nuts/bolts it should come apart pretty easy. I had a ton of dirt and debris, but no rust!
Good luck, Rut
