Had to rant somewhere where others have experienced my pain. I am working on installing bilstein 5100 shocks all the way around the truck. Rears went ok after I got a proper sized stubby wrench. Passenger front went reasonably well with the exception of having to cut the nut off the old shock rod. On to the driver front- Everything is coming apart nicely until the lower shock mount. Got the nut off the bolt after some serious torquing. The bolt is however stuck into the control arm bushing! So I gave up last night and would go outside and soak it in pb blaster every hour or so. Will continue my saga tonight. Hopefully with a bolt coming nicely out of the LCA!
