Yeah, they will. I pull them and the crossmember.

Having a lift makes a big difference on my choice of going out the top, or through he bottom.

Yeah i think you will always fu** up the ball joints. Its much easier beating it and using a pry bar IMO.
Im def. a bottom person. Much easier after you take off the header, and front mount!

i learned to put it in through the top and thats the way i do it. i gotta go at some mean angles. my ls engine was almost vertical

i took off my whole upper control arm off to get my axle out. i didnt like the pickle fork idea

Try putting a H22 in through the top. That swhen you definatly have to go through the bottom.
