leaf spring bolts stuck
I put my lift kit on yester day but when I got to the back to put my new rear leaf springs on, the front rearspring eye bolt will not slide out or twist out. I was able to get the nut off but tried compressing and decompressing the spring, pb blaster spray, and heat from a torch but still stuck. Am I going to need to cut the bolt and spring out and just put new bolts in or am I missing a little trick here.

If you can get in there to cut them out, then do it. I have fought with them before for a while. Soaking for weeks and then twisting the crap out of them. Like I said, if you can, cut them and get new ones. They rust into the bushing sleeve and won't budge. Good luck, Ted
