1985 suburban lowering question

[jasonroman]

so now a new question. does anyone know the size of the nut on top of the lower ball joint?
i was going to try and for now, remove the springs and cut them in the front and put shackles in the back for a quick drop while i decide on which spindle and flip kit combo to go with.. as well as shock extenders.....take it i will need them unless i get new shocks. don't want to spend the money right now on all sorts of parts.

anyway, i tried getting the shock on pass side off and the bolt got stripped out on me.
gotta figure out how to get that bolt off..... stripped the bold near control arm.
but need to know what size the bolt on the ball joint is, so i can get that socket before i attempt this quick drop again.

thanks for any help


will eventually get spindles for the front and flip it out back, just trying to get it down a little bit sooner on the cheap.
