tough bolts
im currently trying to install a 3 inch body lift to my 95 reg. cab f-150 4x4. I got the bed lifted but cant get the bolts off in the cab. there are 6. ive been soakin em in pb blaster everyday and they still wont come loose. even with an impact wrench. when i try to use a socket and wrench the whole thing just turns all the way through so its not goin anywhere. does anyone have any suggestion to what i could do other than take it somewhere to get it done?

Are you having someone get under the truck and hold the nut? Or are you under the truck and not having anyone keep the bolt from turning in the floor of the cab while you're trying to turn the nut? If the whole thing is turning that's the problem. The cab and fender bolts aren't like the bed bolts where you don't have to hold the other side.

i had my brother get under it and hold the nut with a wrench but then it wouldnt turn at all. i was also told that the bolts are threaded all the way through so cutting em off would do no good unless i drilled completely through it which i think would be more work than what its worth.
