I'm a week into that experiment myself, and it's refreshing. Amazing how much extra time and less stress I found in my day that way...lol Suspension looks killer. And it's exactly how I've painted my suspensions in the past - in a makeshift booth. Still gets the job done.

The next time make it easier on yourself. Put the springs under it, but only put the front bolts in the spring eyes. Let the back of the springs lay on the ground. Set the rear over the springs and put the U bolts in. Hand tightens the bolts. Raise the rear spring eyes up and put the bolts in. It's much easier than trying to set the rear over the side of the spring.
