Lift Shackle Installation - DISCUSSION THREAD
I just got my 2" shackles from ebay in the mail. From bolt hole to bolt hole, they measure 7". I'll take some pics when I get them on, hopefully it goes smooth
. I greased the bolts this morning

Yep, complete failure today boys! Got the truck up high enough so the rear end was hanging, got the nuts off on the pass side using my rachet & breaker bar, but those damn bolts wouldn't budge. I measured 2.5cm of threads exposed (where the nut was). I cranked n cranked to no avil. I sprayed soap n water on the bushings, still nothing. After an hour, still 2.5cm of exposed thread. I'm gonna run a search on how to get the bolts out, was goin nuts! Might break down and pay a shop to do it

Try an air-hammer

If there's a harbor freight near you, they have an ultracheap version for about $12 that should get the bolts out. Otherwise you could try a sledge hammer on them if there's enough room to swing.
