exactly! sorry if i wasent clear, do not hit the ball joint it self. hit the spindle. the shock from the impact will break it free...after a few hits

For a 4 inch drop up front you'd have to cut 2 coils but now you have to deal with the issue of running out of adjustment to get camber back to spec, not to mention any time you jack up the front your coils would fall out.

To do it properly you'd need a 3 inch drop spindle and cut a bit of your stock coil.
