Help with rear coil spring upper bolt
I am trying to remove my rear springs to install my bags. Is the upper spring bolt attached to a nut inside the frame? If so how do you get in there? I really wish I had a hoist!!!!
Does anyone have a bare frame that they could take a picture of for me so I can see exactly what I am dealing with?

Re: Help with rear coil spring upper bolt
There should be a nut inside the frame rail. Where the crossmember "splits" to go to the upper and lower portions of the frame rail is where the nut is. If you haven't done a c-notch yet you should be able to get to it from the front or the back with a standard wrench. If you have done a c-notch you will have to go from the front.

No Problem, I'm just waiting to see you get your Jimmy bagged to give me motivation to get to work on my Blazer.
