DSS and new springs

About to install both, should the springs be installed first because ( I think) you have to drop the sway bar to get the springs in and with the DSS on there that would mean I would have to take it off again, or can I dissconect the sway bars at the links to drop axle to get springs in. Bought CSS springs (Custom Spring Services) anyone have them before ??Thanks

Disconnect the sway bar from the axle and rotate it out of the way. Unbolt the shocks. Slowly lower the axle down one side at a time to keep the springs from shooting out. Once it's low enough, pull the springs out and slide the new ones on. You'll probably have to do some prying to get them in. Once that's done, reassemble everything and your good to go.

They weren't from Coil Spring Specialties in Kansas?
