is he lifting the car up enough?
Has he removed the rear swaybar?

You dont need to remove the bump stop

he shouldnt need to touch bump stops to change the springs. I have swapped springs in my 80 a few times, just jack up the diff, remove tyres, put stands under the chassis, lower the diff, jack up body as high as you need to to unload the springs and let the diff droop right down

easy peasy

yeah you dont need to remove bump stops.
but yeah they bolt in.

i put 4 inch lift springs in by driving up and down a stump and removing sway bar prior.

last set were 2 inch and we did them on a hoist. has he undone his shocks?

The only things holding it up should be the shocks, swaybar and brake line.
