ya got lucky,, i never have,, the front bolts in the frame spring perch on the rear springs are usually the worst to get out....... the front will be a cake walk compared to the rear........:headbang::favorites13:

lol, my cheater bar was a lil longer, and we used a torch to get the nuts loose(rusted solid).
And my cheater bar was a handle for a floor jack.

that was ridiculously annoying! didnt notice when i bought them that front springs came without shackle bushing.. then guy at parts counter ordered the wrong ones. made me wait an extra day! then i couldnt get one of the u bolt nuts off and had to cut the u bolt and go get new ones. took FAR to long and was very annoying.. but im finally done and i wont have to worry about them for a long while!!
