I was able to reach the pitman arm nut and use my puller with just enough room.

The coil shock mod idea i got from Blazer_4x4

I spent a long time just admiring the underside of the transmission... My advice, don’t bother with trying an easy out. Just one more thing you’ll have to drill out when it breaks as well.

A word of advice: The seats install better when you take the old ones out first.
