K I got them off. God damn they were tough. The left one I used a gear ratchet (pass through) and an Allen wrench and it came off. But the right one I had to take to walmart and have one of my buddies take off with an impact wrench. Crazy what a little compressed air can do lol. I still got the right rear to do in the morning and I'll be done. The rear isn't hard at all.

However the left rear looks higher than the stock right rear now. Any reason for this? Maybe the spring is in wrong?

Thanks guys.
