[oletrucks] spring shackels on 54

I am cleaning up my frame for painting and want to remove my springs.  The
manual is not real clear (to me) about servicing the shackels...  Also had
a question about removing the spring.  The manual says lift the truck with
chains or something like that.  My truck does not have the bed, can I just
put a jack under the frame to reduce the pressure on the spring?  How can I
determine the condition of my shackels and if I need to fix/replace them?
Thanks!
