I removed the hardware for the sway arms lower nut and the top bolt. This was done for both front and rear sways. Sways fell out of the way, then removed the bolt for the rear and bolts for the front shocks and then I was able to jack up on the spring.

I bought lowering bolt kit from PFYC (39.95 I think) and they are fully adjustable..I dropped rear 1 1/4" and front 3/4" ...drove it for 100 miles and had 4 way alignment..car is perfect..
