Toytec Lift???

I am going to install my lift @ my shop and I have seen two diffrent ways to seperate the UCA's and LCA's to remove the shock and coil assembly. Which way is the easiest to do? As far as cost or possible damage to ball joint boots etc...I have seen 17mm bolts that are located on the bottom of the lower control arm that thread into the bottom of the hub.
And removing the castle nut on the top UCA to seperate for added room for removal. I am going with the adjustable coil over 3" lift Toytec has with 5100's with eibach springs. Any help would be a big help.

 

What year is your truck? I did my 03 last weekend with the same lift...
