is that the last thing you have to do?
if so, before you get out, just say to yourself... ok these are all going to break, and I am going to swear and get pissed, but its all going to be worth it in the end! lol
seriously, hit them with alot of heat and just try cracking them loose. then tighten them. hit them with heat again, loosen them and maybe try to give it an extra push, smoothly. try to work them if you can get them broke loose to start, from there its being careful breaking away the rust inside.
if they break, its hammer and punch time.

Still have the old shocks in? Also id re check all your bolts/nuts torque. check exhaust clearance. Check that the leafs aren't looking like they are moving. When I was done with mine I could hear the exhaust slap the leafs on bumps and turns. Worth a look.
The guy that's welding my cherry bomb is gonna pull the wheel off and take a look. It's gotta be some component that turns with the wheel. Just don't know ehat

Are you talking about the front end of your jeep? Cause you said back?
If its from the front. Check your trackbar bolts. I had a pop coming from up front when turning and it was the frame mount track bar bolt, wasn't tight.
If its the back, like I said check everything I mentioned. Could be from weight shifting and something might be loose.
