What bolt are you talking about? The center pin that goes through the leafs into the axle is what prevents it from rotating (as well as centering the spings) The shocks and drive shaft are still attached, but without the pin the only thing keeping it together are the u bolts and plates.
You're talking about this right?

There is a bolt (as previously pictured) holding the spring pack together and a 3/16" (?) roll pin. The roll pin needs to be cut or if you prefer left out. The bolt holding the spring pack together needs to be re-installed. The rolling axle problem comes with running a flip kit and folks (including myself) usually weld the axle housing to the spring perches to prevent it from happening.

all you need is the right tools, one being a torx bit size t45 if i remember correct to remove your stock shackles, 2 jacks or a jack and 2 stands, a good socket set and a few wrenches just incase you need them, id get some penetrating oil or pb blaster to help loosen the nuts spray tonight tomorrow morning and just before you do it to make sure they come off easy....
