What is it UR having a problem with?? Does the jambing of two nuts not make any sense to ya or is the bolt frozen in place and broke off?? I have the same lift in mine so I went through the same problem.... put one nut on the stud far enought to get the other on... put the other on top of the first. Make sure the second nut is on far enough u can feel the stud protruding out then put UR wrench on the first nut and back it off till its nice and tight with the second (might wanna wrench on both nuts just make sure they snug up good) THEY GOTTA BE TIGHT AGAINST EACHOTHER!! then with UR wrench on the first nut try n back the stud out... hopefully u won't have the same prob I did n the stud break cause then ya gotta either drill a hole n the stud n try an easy out or u can just drill it out and re-tap the hole....

You can use a pipe wrench if the jam nut idea isnt working for you. Or if you have a welder handy weld the nut onto the stud and make a purpose of putting allot of heat into it. This will help immensely. Normally what i have to do with busted bolts or sticky studs.

if you cant weld, heat it up with a torch and use vise grips (big ones) work the bolt back and forth as it loosens up then when it moves quite a bit back it right out. i tried for 5-6 hours then went and got a torch and had it out in 20min
Or you can take an angle grinder and lightly grind away two opposite sides just enough so the threads are gone and the surfaces are flat. Then take an adjustable wrench to it and it comes right out! Just my 2 cents
