transfer case drop not right ?
i ordered a transfer case drop kit with the rest of my kit from zone lifts. The trouble iam having is it came with 4 spacers and 4 bolts , but only 2 of my bolts come out and the other are in the frame and dont move. How do i get those 2 bolts out and how do i get the new bolts in ? they didnt send nuts so i was thinking that they would back out ,but i tryed that and they wont turn. Its almost like those are studs instead of bolts...

They are studs, u need a stud remover, or clamp a pair of vice grips on em, or use the double nut method. Id suggest heating them up too, to loosen them up.

They are studs. I had one hell of a time getting them out. Actually ended up drilling them out and re-tapping them to accept the new bolts. You might have some luck with penetrating oil and heat and a vice-grip...
