Rear lowering bolts
The complete story:
Ok guys I just celebrated my 65th birthday yesterday and feeling the lingering effects this morning. So I have one big question to ask.
What is the easiest way to remove the rear lowering bolts? I have read where some say to cut the bolts with a reciprocating saw and some remove the suspension parts. I have the hardbar bolts to replace the stock ones. I don't really want to cut the stock bolts simply because you can't but them from GM and someone may need to replace there stock ones that they cut the rubber off of.
Please no harsh answers, got a bit of a headache still.

Do it right, drop the spring.
Better hold on to your stock bolts, seems like everybody is having trouble with the lowering bolts pads lasting. You may need the stock bolts to replace the lowering bolts in a few months.

Keep the stock bolts if you can. If you want to go back and haven't kept them, the only way to replace them is to purchase the entire stock spring(s) (unless you can find them in the used parts world.)
