No these trucks dont have springs, they are torsion front ends, The use a torsion bar and a shock

Use hand tools so you can count how many turns you went on each side so its the same on each side. Id suggest spraying with with pb blaster or something like that a few times and let it sit before you try to turn them so they dont snap off.
