I haven't done a body lift as I don't like them because it shows gapping between the body and frame plus bumpers. However, the easiest way when dealing with rusty or stuburn bolts is with cutting torches. I use them when doing exhaust or suspension work. If you don't have access to any, I don't know how to advise you, but maybe someone will have an answer for ya, so hang on .

Jake try using a pipe wrench or a vise grips. I think Ive seen some vise grips with wide jaws made for pipes.
