Does anyone know if there is an easy way to remove the rear springs ? I have now got 2 sets of spring compressors but the problem is trying to clamp them up when they are fitted seems almost impossible because everything else gets in the way (this is with the car on stands & wheels removed) They are the Mopar/KW springs . Any advice would be great

Spring compressor won't work/fit.
There are only two ways.
Drop the cradle/cross member, which is the method most used.
Or drop the spring link, which requires less surgery but can be more dicey when trying to reinstall the spring link bolt.
Here are two threads showing both methods. In the threads they call the spring link a lower control arm. Chrysler calls the part a spring link.

Arrow 4 is pointing to the Spring Link. Arrow 1 is the bolt that is removed to drop the Spring Link.
