Yes, if you take the shocks off, you should be able to remove the spring.

So only the shock. Don't have to unbolt nothing else?

Not necessary, but you might need to pry the axle assy lower for the springs to come out. Before unloosensing, ensure the axle is supported so that tyhere are no stress on the shocks and its holding bolts.
