when working on jackstands NOT a lift.

Place jack under lower control arm, with no more than a 1/4" space inbetween jack head and control arm.
Loosen lower ball joint nut so that there is no more than 1/16" space between nut and control arm.
Take your BFH and knock the #$%% out of the lower control arm as close to the ball joint as you can.
The lower control arm should pop right off the ball joint and stop on the nut.

Repeat this for the top ball joint.

Finish up with following spring removal steps.

Yes. Do it yourself. Very simple job. Took about 4 hours total for the install. Most of that time was on front spindles and then running to lowes for the threaded rod to adjust my air ride sensors.

When I took everything off and went back to stock the next weekend, it only took 1.5 hours max to switch it all back. haha. Just did not work out for me driving on and off construction sites every day. Simply, not practical for my work.
