And there I was pissed at ford for using such good rivets on the brackets I had to take off... heads up if you are doing a RC 4 or 6 inch lift be prepared to take off like 12 rivets... luckily I had an air hanmer, grinder, 2 chisels, and a big *** hammer to take those things out... unfortunately I didn't finish today... but all I have to do it change out the Pittman arm and put the front end back together with the new coils... and then the blocks and ext brake lines in the rear....

Lol, I used a 7" angle grinder with cutting wheel and air hammered it out. I had those stupid things out in minutes.

Yep, I went through the same thing. Thought it was gonna be a simple bolt in, have it done in a day install, and those rivets just took so long and took so much effort. Really bad. Haha.
