Mike,

Take a look at the online shop manual for your truck. There is a section for front suspension and another for rear...lots of info to correctly identify parts and show how they come apart. When it gets too confusing, come back to the Stovebolt and asks the X-Spurts! smile

Just thread out the pin and then removing the rest from the hanger can be done using this method:

On the front of the front springs you can remove the side plates of the shackle, they are a taper fit on the threaded pins. Remove the center clamp bolt and drive each plate off with a punch.

The rear end of the front springs are held in with a bolt. First remove the locknut and lock washer from the inside. Then turn the bolt out from the outside, then push it out the rest of the way with a punch.

The axle and springs should now be sitting on the floor.
