And i call BS on getting the lower strut bolt loose with just a regular socket wrench.. We had to use some leverage by putting steel tubbing on the end of the wrench..
i'm glad it helped him out!
the BFH method works for some people, but didn't work for us. and as mentioned, it is not as safe. the tool is free to rent so why not.

as far as the lower strut bolt.....i am an OX (not to say it was easy, but it is possible). i have air tools now, so this whole thing would've taken half the time. oh well, i'll be ready for the next lifts...my TJ and an 07 Toyota FJ Cruiser.
