I swear to god are the stock bolts welded in? Had the truck on a lift + 2 hours with a sledge hammer + 2 hours with an air hammer + 10 minutes with a sawzall to get them off.

How common is it for them to be that rust frozen? 3 out of 4 of them were like this, ended up cutting out 3 bolts and putting in 2 new LCAs since we can't get the bushings :(

Yay for Cam Bolts after 8 hours of labor...

If you want the job done right, you need the proper tools. In this case, its a sawzall.

I got super lucky and they came right off. Make sure you do the tranny bypass as well! Go to www.thenewx.org and search it.
