Yeah, leaf spring bolts are somewhat notorious for being a bear to
remove. When I did a 4" suspension lift on my '92 Ram, I ended up
cutting the bolts out with a sawzall. About the time I was doing
that, I read about a similar install on a Ramcharger in a 4x4 magazine
where they were unable to remove the springs themselves, so they took
it to a shop which cut them out, and then when attempting to
remove the bolts from the spring eyes, they stalled a 25 ton press.
