Just wanted to say "thank you" for all the helpful advice above. Cannot imagine doing this without the tips of others. Got new front springs, shocks, tie rod ball joints and steering boots replaced. As was mentioned above, using two floor jacks when reassembling helps line up the shock bracket, castor rod and lower control arm so you can drop in those two bolts. For what it's worth, I kept the solitary inboard shock mounting bolt attached to the shock mounting plate, although loosened. The shock was still able to fall out between the two halves of the mounting bracket. Doing this seemed to make aligning the two outboard mounting bolts fairly easy on assembly.
