Day 2 and hour #17 and the lift still isn't done. There's been too many obstacles to list, but right now I'm just stuck. The bolts that hold the leaf springs to the frame rail won't budge. Impact wrench = nothing. Man power = nothing. I've used arm power, leg power, jack power, air power. Even tried melting a candle down into the bolt shaft to loosen it up. Nothing. The shackle bolts on the rear of leaf pack won't come loose either. I can cut those as a last resort, but the bolt on the front goes into the frame rail, I assume through a welded nut, and disappears. Cutting it will only make matters worse. ANY suggestions!?!? Anybody not doing anything tomorrow???
Oh, and the shock bolts broke, as promised. Easy-Outs don't work. Just drill the whole thing out and use a bigger bolt?
