I ended up using a high lift jack and wedged the other end in between the tubes on my rear bumper to compress the spring and then sloped the tube over the strut then hammered the ends if the pipe so it punched the botom of the strut all and all I lost about a 1/2" of lift I got the struts used off of craigslist for $20 and had to fug them alittle when I put them in so its not a big deal to replace them

I like the strut repair.  That is the weak point in the EA series cars.  I stopped offroading my 86 because every time I hit hard on the rear I blew the springs off the strut the same way to you did!   Have fun there and take lots of pics!

I Agree, that's why I reinforced the Suspension like this:
