Go spray the bolts now WD40, PBblaster, liquidwrench... anything that will help loosen them up. Keep spraying them once or twice a day and it should really help out when you go to install them.

Shackles are fine but I wouldn't do the tbar crank unless it's actually needed in order to fit bigger tires or wider wheels or something.

Best of luck to you, I tried twice and failed. Mind you, I don't have a torch or air tools, but..had to borrow a torch. The Nuts comes off fine, its the bolt, trying to get it out of the bushing
