I will get the threaded rod rig made up. I see how much angle is caused by the A arm being dropped. I think my plan will be to try a bar first. Then, after drinking several beers at the bar, I will jack the A arm back up to its original position. Secure the threaded rod down the shock holes using the large washers UNDER the A arm. Once I have tension back on the spring with the threaded rod I will then position the jack under the wide, engine side of the a arm. Then remove the inner a arm bolts and shaft using a heavy tow strap to keep it positioned horizontally. Then I will begin releasing tension on the threaded rod and slowly lowering the jack at the same time, the object being to lower the entire lower A arm vertically. This is basically how it is shown to be done in the service manual. All you guys are great help, my next thread will be about removing inner fenders.
