i think the nut is a 1 incher.. thats what i used.. the trick isif you can turn the springs at all turn them to be able to get the wrench in and have room to circulate. i think that an open end wrench would do... and also get a bunch of liquid wrench and wd40 and douse it with it.. good luck...

I used penatrating oil on the nut and the bolt head at the bottom of the i-beam for about a week soaked it every day(very rusty from salt). put a closed end wrench on the nut then heated the **** out of the bolt head on the bottom held the wrench and impacked the **** out of the bolt and it spun and puzzed the bolt right out....thats how i install all the lifts for my friends.

I just finished doing the eibach coils on my 88 ranger. Took about an hour and a half to od both sides. Im a bit disappointed. They said a 2-3 inch drop depending on original spring sag. I got about an inch. Anyone else ever disappointed with eibach springs .I always thought they were the best. The ride is a bit stiffer as well.

if your old springs were originals from 88, its likely that they were sagging pretty well. if you have a larger engine then that is definately the case. the eibachs may offer 2-3 drop from the stock height. you may have found that by simply replacing your fronts with stockers, it would have lifted it.
another possibility, if you got your truck used, the previous owner may have already installed some 1-2 inch drop coils in the front.
