Best way to install springs in the rear?

I got my new rear axle from NTO yesterday and I took off the old one today. I noticed dealing with the springs even with spring compressors is a little weird. I didn't dare do it without the compressors.

So when putting everything back together tomorow, what is the best way to put the springs back in?

Since all I did was unbolt the Shocks and Sway Bar when I changed my springs (no Spring Compressor needed on the rear), I would say get the upper and lower control arms hooked back up and stick the springs in, then jack up the housing and hook up the shocks and sway bar and anything else you have not hooked up.

That's all there is too it. The rear is so much easier to do than the front.
