Default Dropping K-Member for rod bolt install, what am I missing?

Ok, when you "drop" the K-member to get the oil pan off. What all needs unbolted? I got the motor mount bolts out, engine suspended by a hoist, and the 6 k-member bolts out and the 4 sway bar bolts out. What else needs to happen to drop the whole k-member down to get enough clearence to drop the oil pan and get at the rod bolts? The shocks? Thanks.

Cool, then is that it? Or is there anything else I need to unhook to drop it a few inches?

Steering rack and brake lines probably, you don't want to be breaking those.

You should be able to drop the k-member down a couple of inchs with just doing that...
