I’m not trying to start an argument but what is the danger of carefully lifting from the axle under the spring assembly? Educate me! I know I had to remove a wheel last year and that is where I lifted. It would appear to me that lifting from the frame would take quite a lot of lifting to get the wheel off of the ground. On another note while traveling isn’t there extra stress placed on the spring assembly and axles if you are in a rough area?
