Roadblock #3: Stripped leaf pack center pin
Alright well this lift went from something that looked easy to accomplish, to a full on nightmare... I got done with the entire front end today and went on to work on the rear. I jacked it up, pulled the clamps off, removed the U-bolts, and all of a sudden I noticed the center pin nut was completely stripped. I have tried everything from drilling a hole into it, to using vice grips, to grinding notches into it, and it won't budge at all.... Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure you have the pack C clamped when you remove the center bolt, you don't want to lose a tooth or two.
