You can put a shifter on the bottom flats, to hold it from spinning, or you can put stillson wrench on the bottom of the shocker itself where the weld is at the bottom - to hold it from turning and undo the nut.

Worst case scenario, is to cut the bottom nut with a hacksaw from the bottom up the the base of the nut - just wide of the thread and it will then just undo easily, as the nut will stretch and spread.
