Lowering the a-arms is the prefered method. I have some special 15mm bent wrenches that did the job for me. I don't have to worry about them any more. My engine now uses a front motor plate to mount the engine to the frame.

15mm or 9/16 flex socket works wonders.
U can also access the bolts thru the springs(access hole in frame) if u take the time to look.
Doesnt take that long and if u uses some dum dum or equivelant on the socket to hold the washer /nut in place it goes even quicker.
U dont need to drop the a-arms.

I guess I should have added that my bent 15mm wrenches did the job for me without dropping the a-arm.
