We finished the front drop on ours yesterday and started on the rear today. The problem we ran into was the nut inside the fixed end spring hanger. It's not welded on and there is no access to it like on the trucks. I'm going to buy another 7/8" box end wrench to sacrifice. It needs to be bent at a 90* to hold the nut.
