Is there anyone out there? Do i have to drop the anti roll bar, drive shaft to change the springs? Shocks are straight forward.

On the rear beam there is a small bracket for holding part of the braking system open the bracket and remove. Now jack up the rear-arm remove the bolt which secures the rear shock slowly lower the arm and the spring should pull out by hand if not use spring compressing clamp's.
And just do the reverse for fitting the new spring. hope this helps

from experience the only hassle-free way to get standard springs out of a 4x4 is to disconnect the driveshafts and drop the beam down each side as well as releasing the shock absorber. Expect to take off the antirollbar and the brake pipe.
Yes you "can" get them out without doing this, but in the end you'll find it easier to just drop the beam from the outset..
