Yeah, I'm probably going to have to cut them. I've had the front apart before so it shouldn't be an issue, but afaik the leaf springs and shackles have never been off.Originally Posted by Hoghauler
I'm with Gary. I ended up having to cut mine out. And 1 bolt broke off inside with the breaker bar. Luckily it still had a little nub sticking out that I welded another bolt on. Then Lots of heat and about an hour later I finally got it out. The leafs and the shackles were the worst part of my lift.

Well I still want them even if you have to cut the bolts, as long as the springs are still good lol. I'm ready to come pick them and the axle up :-)

Not having much luck yet, got the front leaf bolts out, but broke both weld nuts on the shackles. While taking off the rear shocks they were finger tight... weld nuts already broken. So I took the carpet out and started cutting up the floor in the cargo area, ran out of sawzall blades while trying to cut the shackle bolts, think I'm calling it a night.Originally Posted by Renegade90

Mine was originally sold in Utah, so I feel your pain. Nothing on the undercarriage comes off easy!

If you need help on Thursday let me know and I'll bring the angle grinder and cut off wheels, we can cut those bolts off in a few seconds.Originally Posted by sthon

Got the leaf springs off in once piece, should give me enough room to cut the shackle bolts. No way in hell can you fit an angle grinder in there though, going to have to go with a sawzall.Originally Posted by Renegade90
