In case someone ever runs into this same problem, here is how it was solved: After receiving a replacement bolt I ended up cutting off the bolt head in the picture and attempted to drive the bolt out in the opposite direction. Well, that completely seized it in the bushing and after hours of trying ...

Have you tried putting a jack under the coil bucket? I put my floor jack under the bolt and raised the coil bucket to relieve any pinch pressure off the bolt. both of mine came out easy once I did that. Did exactly that, made no difference. I think I'll rent coil spring compressor this weekend and ...

Does it have movement only to that spot?

I would hit it with impact wrench

This is as far as it will go. When I hit it with the impact wrench the bolt just spins.

Hey guys, so I finally had some time for another attempt. Still no go. I've tried supporting the coil bucket and the hub with jacks at various heights in hopes to take the tension off the bolt with no success. Tried driving the bolt out with a piece of bar stock and a hammer from the other side but ...

Do you have a jack under it remove the tension? I tried it first without a jack, then threw a jack under there and tried raising the whole thing slightly to see if it would remove the tension - no go! But I did not remove the bottom bolt from the shock, wondering if that was tilting the bolt enough...

Lift install and rear spring removal trouble

Hey guys, so I've installed Rancho quicklift struts and rear spacers this weekend, well, almost! :x I got the front struts in and the passenger side rear spacer, but having issues with the rear driver side. For the life of me, I cannot get out the outer bolt that holds the coil spring bucket in plac...

IMO...The truck should have been at least 2" taller from the factory! Or at least the 4x4 versions should have been. If your considering the body lift, you should go with the 2" one as you really won't notice the 1" lift after all that work. Especially if you're running bigger tires!...

Would I need extended brake lines with a 4" lift?

Hey guys, I am wondering if I would need to install extended brake lines with a 2" suspension lift (Rancho Quicklift) and a 2" body lift?
If yes, what would you recommend?

Cheers!

Which option did you go with? 1" or 2? Did you need any bumper relocation brackets or steering shaft extension?

Thanks!
