suspension springs help

[tomahawkcat]

could use some help with the rear suspension springs , they can be hooked into one of 3 spots on the rear bracket. how in the heck do you get these springs hooked into the bracket way to much tension on them, do you not bolt in  the rear 2 bolts and pick the rear up higher  any trick sure would help, has to be a better way of putting these in

There was an L shaped to for that.  Short end was a tube that went over the spring.

 have used a socket and a ratchet wit some success. Use one small enough to just fit over the spring end.
