Default remove leaf spring help

i am planning on removing just the helper spring in the rear, the smallest one on the bottom to lower the dak a few. any tips or tricks? i have my haynes manual. i assume i can just unbolt the ubolts and slide it off. anyone? lol

a block would raise it, hence the name "lift block", since it is a spring over axle and not spring under
