When taking a swing spring off the car and taking it

removing the front coil springs?
How much energy is still in the leaf spring when
you've jacked up the backend until the axles rest on
the frame?
The normal practice is to support the suspended parts (hub,
drum, halfshaft etc.) of the side you are unbolting with a
jack or such, so that the spring is not under load. This is
done because it makes removing the bolts much easier, not
because it is a safety concern.
If you are talking about disassembling the spring itself,
there isn't much tension there either, as far as I remember.
