i cut front coils, messed the lower ball joints so i replaced them this morning, will do the uppers when i get my spindles..
now, rear. not sure how I'm supposed to attack it.
i have some shackles in garage from an old truck. thought id put them on after cutting coils to have a better stance. looked at driver side rear....not chance of getting bolts out. if i cut em. not sure hot to get new ones in. pass side is opposite. i can get them 2 out no problem.
was gonna wait and order spindles/flip kit/ and i guess i need the shock extenders for rear. but not sure ill be able to tackle job if i cant get them 2 bolts out.

any ideas.
