Well i got the front of my lift on now im working on the back, and for some reason the bolts that hold the top of the leaf on are not wanting to come out. You guy have an advice, maybe what tools you used. They do move alittle tho.

Sounds like a case of girly strength.

Well what tool are you using?

Hopefully you've got at least a socket wrench. If so try finding away to extend the handle in order to gain more leverage.

hi , literally just finished swapping my leafs, i used a 2 1/2' torque wrench, it was tough but they came out, on one of them though the bolt had welded itself to the metal sleave in one of the bushes, i got my grinder out and cut the bolt head off. another note i also have cut little access holes in my lower sill joins to get line of sight to the front bolts.

Drill it out and retap the hole if you can if not helicoil may be needed....

i haven't done my leafs yet but when i finally get a chance to get my new ubolts i will. and if i crack the nut off the frame i will just weld a new one on.

Yea the bolt broke the welded nut off inside the frame so there is no place to thread the bolt. what can i do?? Any ideas or advice
