[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1070730, member: 176704"] No real problem even if the shock shears at one end (had that happen wiith my old Mk IV Golf estate) because the weight of the car will keep the spring in place (drove the Golf around with a broken shock for a couple of days until I could get a new one :D ). Anyway, just stick a jack under the spring cup to support/raise/lower it whilst replacing the shock or refitting an ARB etc (I have 5-6 small trolley jacks, and also a small bottle jack which is ideal as it fits neatly under the spring cup without getting in the way of anything else).
