It's also parked on a slope, so I started with a balancing act. I was jumping on the breaker bar and couldn't get the fronts loose. I had to use an adjustable wrench on the nut and a railroad spike run through the hole in the wrench's handle to pin it against the leaf spring. Then I put the breaker on the bolt head and beat it with a sledge to get it free.
Once the nut was off, I spun the bolt with my cordless impact til it melted the bushing, and then I pried/beat it the rest of the way out.
Course I was stopping to walk around about every ten minutes cause I'd be covered in spiders, bugs, and wooly bears.

re-did cross member so center section is removable. got it mocked up just have to bore the holes on the tabs out to 9/16 ordered them for 9/16 and they are just a hair smaller. also found out my 220v extention cord wont reach the jeep where it is now so its going to get fun moving it forward but i got it figured out. tomorrow bore the tabes weld them on cut ford 9" spring perches and move them narrower then hop to have it rolling.
