They should be threaded into the frame. I was able to remove mine by using vise grips and threading them back out.
I've read of others using the double nut method or even welding a nut on it to back them out.
Nice build so far too!

well it was the studs in the frame rail.. but now I know I can just un thread them.. so ill havea a go at that probably on Thursday will be the next chance I have to work on it.. then as long as drilling thru the frame rail goes smoothly I may be able to have it done Thursday evening..

Well I finally got it down on all 4! After a lot of procrastination..
There are Def a few things left to work out tho.. The steering wheel is upside-down.. It is super out of align.. And I'm rubbing really bad..

Hopefully it's only rubbing because it's not all aligned correctly or something! I assumed the lift would clear 33s! It only rubs on the right side, so I'm pretty sure something isn't correct underneath lol

And Yea I drove it down the road and back.. I've got a few things I know I need to adjust. It's Def all still a learning process tho..

Mine rubbed one way also sounds like you need to center the axle. I centered the axle, set my toe, and fixed the crooked tiller.
I dont like the places that align. around here.
P.S. Jeep looks bad *** !!

Tape measure and a helper you can center axle and set toe , good enough to drive to alignment shop.
