Assuming tire is off and vehicle is supported behind and off of suspension components. Try to remove shock nuts and bolts, I cut them with saws all and grinder. The suspension is hanging, I then use spring spacers, load helpers, that can be acquired from any auto parts. Get longer grade 8 bolts & nuts and use them to start squeezing spring, collapsing it, place jack under suspension, put tension on jack which then makes it easier to collapse spring. Spring removed grind or torch rivets, punch them out. Clean and paint are with rust proofer also don't forget new parts. I like to coat the mating surfaces with grease just prior to assembly. Use grade 8 bolts and install new mount, spring with new j-hook and bolt, shock or shocks, brake lines (new), bleed brakes, put tire on and go to alignment shop. Any time parts on front or rear are changed that might effect alignment, get it checked. Be safe Always double support the truck when working under it, and be respectful of the spring, these little spring load kits come 2 sets per pack, I use 4 sets per spring. 2 do the work and 2 are my safety net ( be careful in where you put your fingers, as most of us only got 10 from God).

2005 Chrysler town and country. there is a loud bumping noise that sounds like something is loose but I can find no loose components. Has anyone an educated guess?
I believe the 2005 is the same as the 2002. The upper strut mount has a large rubber mount inside the upper strut mount. The rubber gets old and detaches from the upper mount. If you put your finger inside the upper mount and touch the top of the strut shaft with your finger, rock the car back and fourth pretty vigorously and if the center shaft moves the upper strut mount needs to be replaced.
