yea i mean i can see that for the other side as the bolt can be longer length and all since its a nut and bolt. But the front one goes into the body.

Is the nut spinning in the frame rail or is it just seized in the sleeve?

Its spinning in the sleeve I can spin it with a impact and use an open end to pry but won't come out. the sleeve and bolt are spinning so not sure what to do.


No nut by the way just a bolt threads are in the unibody. Its out of that though

Penetrating oil overnight....

Then...tomorrow...get a small pipe wrench and big hammer....put the pipe wrench on the bolt....not the head....and smack it from behind with the hammer. HARD.

When I did my lift I got all new bolts from Morris 4x4. I got lucky and didn't have a problem getting any out but replaced them all anyway.
