yes, this is definitely a much easier way to do it. I was just really wary of removing that one cross member bolt. I didn't know if it would be hard to put back in. Did you have any issues with the diff rubbing the crossmember?
I've installed two diff drops on other guy's trucks, seems like the easiest way I've found yet is to back the bolt out of the front crossmember mount first. Then a jack (or a strong helper) under the diff and remove the two vertical chassis mount bolts, stick your drop spacers in and thread the bolts loosely, leave enough slop to line up the crossmember mount and thread it loosely, then torque the chassis mounts, then do the crossmember mount last.
