It's not a big, nor complex job. Just take your time & be observant. The biggest drama I had was getting the front pin to line up at the same time as keeping the spring located on the axle - You may need to use a second jack to adjust the hieght of the front of the spring at the same time as keeping forward pressure on the spring (I used a breaker bar jammed in the rear shackle, but whatever works for you). I also had a front pin that would not come out of the old spring - so out come the grinder and in went a new pin).
Oh, and make sure you use jack stands to support the ute while your under it - lest it all turns to tears!
For those of you who like me now have changed out the rear springs, I salute you. What a sh..t of a job on your own.
Drives and rides better than new now.
Agree! I've done mine three times now. The originals out is the worst though, with a stuck pin.

Nah piece of piss, You didn,t have the tools. I had my 2 boys helping while i gave the orders, 17 mm spanner now, now i want a 19 mm socket. Makes easier not having to get out from under ute. The brought every thing to me and the wife made coffee. I was lucky 04 model nav and nothing got stuck not a pin or a bush
how long roughly before the rear springs will sag?, mine is noticeably higher at the back and i have left the 10mm gap on the front upper bum stops
