    I recently installed 3.5 different much leaf springs. I completely forgot to lube the bolts when putting them in. How can I go about taking one bolt out at a time and lubing them? Should I jack up the frame and take one out? I just don’t want anything to shift on me

    You’ll want to jack up the rear and support the frame with jack stands. Then use either a jack, or better yet a jack and a second set of jack stands under the rear axle housing.

    Yes, I would do this and just take out one bolt at a time. I'd just use some Red N Tacky or wheel bearing grease.
