Installing leveling kit
So yesterday me and a buddy attempted to install my 2.5 HBS leveling and everything was coming apart too easy would of known you i would run into a problem somewhere. While trying to take out the lower strut bolt i could only get it to come out about half way. I believe its seized to the bushing. Has anyone else had this problem if so, how did you manage to get it out with out torching it and replacing the bushing. Looking for some suggestions i really want to get the kit on there so i can put my 35's on... Thanks guys

Personally, I hated it when they went to coil overs in '06. Torsion fronts are so much simpler. It literally takes 15 minutes a side to jack the truck up and crank the key bolts to level the truck and you NEVER hear of front end vibration like the coil guys complain about. Not to mention there is a LOT more clearance for wider tires without the coils in there.
Sometimes, older technology is a good thing.
When I did the coil spacers on my Grand Cherokee, I soaked the whole mess down the day before with anti-seize, and I'm not talking WD40 or PB Blaster, I'm talking real anti-seize, like Motorex. Everything came out like butta'...
