Depending on what you have on hand to remove and replace spring bushings may be just easier with springs off the truck.
If you do remove the springs it’s wise to replace U-bolts with new ones, do not reuse.

For the most part if the springs look good, not worn and stepped where the leaves rub, not real rusty, and none broken, then not necessary to disassemble and mess with them unless you just want to.
