Hi wagon rear upper coil pads falling out

[jack]

Hi I have a 08 gu wagon 2 inch lift.
Crawling under the rear the other day I see the the upper spring pad is all deformed and not correctly seated.
I’m assuming it’s caused by too much flex? And the pad car out abit.
In any case I want to replace the upper pads now.
How can I go about this on the drive way is there a way to do it we’re I don’t have to remove everything?
Also how do I prevent this for happening on the cheap? I’m thinking something with zip ties lol.

I just installed the Boss Coil Tower Brace and used a coil spring compressor, compress the coil enough and you sould be able to slip a new pad in easily. You will need to raise the body on car stands and remove the wheels to get the diff to drop far enough.
