If you didn't take it apart you don't need to time it.

I read on here that when you change ride height you need to retime the entire suspension. I did everything so far but the driver side upper control arm and the ride quality is definitely smoother... just didnt want the upper control arms to be uneven since i did the pass side.

your correct. "clocking" or "timing" the bushings is recommended if suspension is altered. otherwise they're "pre-loaded" to previous suspension height.

Or a long section of metal pipe on the end of a breaker bar. I use a 3ft piece of gas pipe on a breaker bar. Haven't found anything that can't be broken loose yet!

Its not the breaker bar. I cant get the drive into the socket because the chassis is blocking it... It balloons on the driver side, but not the pass side.

Get some ratcheting wrenches. You'll thank me later.
