4" Drop
I finally got the coil springs out, and the spindles off (Actually used an electric band saw on this side). Now for the ball joints:

Re: 4" Drop
Rock the upper and lower control arms side to side. If there is any movement at all the bushings are shot. Mine moved. Might be a good time to replace them anyway.

Re: 4" Drop
Actually went ahead and ordered new upper control arms. Planning on replacing the lower ball joints too. Lower bushings seem okay.

Re: 4" Drop
Amazing what persistence and a Ball Joint Press can do:
 And yes, I got both sides ready for rust proofing and paint:
