Leaf spring problem.

ok so I've started my djm 3/4 drop. Never really done anything like it before, but I'm good at learning from the book and getting my hands dirty. I removed all the u bolts, bracket, and leaf spring bolts. Here's the problem...the leaf spring won't budge at all. I jacked the truck up like it said supported it at the frame, and supported the axle as well, still can not get the leaf spring to move so I can remove it...any idea's?
