Changing front leaf spring?

Hi all. I have a 2002 f250 superduty 4x4 that I am in the process of trying to get her back on the road. I started to change the front leaf springs yesterday and ran into a problem.
The passenger side leaf spring front bolt won't go out far enough, before running into ?radiator support?, to drop the spring. I was wondering what I am doing wrong? or what I need to do in order to get that bolt to slide out?
Thanks

so here's the update as well as the solution! I removed the front bumper and found that the AC condenser support bracket was what was holding up the bolt from sliding out.
