Default Driving me crazy

Ok i asked once and got no real replies and after looking at it afor a few days i can't stand it any longer. How in the heck do i lower the front end more. The back is slammed and looks great but the car is now angled down the wrong way to put it bluntly it is butt low and looks like crap. I know you can cut the front bushings and that is all fine and dandy if i could get the lower a arm to come down so i can get the screw out and cut the stupid thing i have tried like 5 times now. is there a special way to get the a arm to drop? or am i just going to have to put it back to stock and live with the horrible wheel gap. some one please help i have searched and search ed but maybe i just am not searching right but i can't find any way to get it to drop i have spent at least 15 hours trying to get it lowered how i want but still have very little to show for it.
Thanks for any help

Have you tried putting the car on jack stands and then jacking up the monoleaf spring just before the bolt. Im pretty sure this should allow you to remove the bolt and cut the bushing! I could be wrong, but i didn't have to cut mine when I lowered my car so im not 100% sure!

Best of luck to ya!
