New Full Pack Question.

Ok well over 2 years ago when i put my lift on, i opted to just rebuild my stock leaf packs, and it came out looking good and ended up sitting higher than the front. Well now im wanting to get some new full packs, instead of adding shackles to my current packs. Now you would think my simple solution would to buy some new full packs, but i found out it seems the bolt on the frame side is frozen. I even had some guys at a local 4wd shop give it a try with air tools and nothing. So they said something about cutting it out and then re welding it. So is that my only option? what else can i do? I want to get rid of these stiff leaf packs and opt for some new ones.

I used PB blaster for a couple days. I mean the guys at the shop told me that it was frozen inside the bushing. So i dunno, trying to figure this out so i know what i need to do.

Keep spraying them.. Plus next time you try too remove them, tighting first some time helps... Just hit it for a second or two forward.. that helps some time.....If you can't get them out that way, then saw jaw is going to be your friend.. Cut the bolt on the side of leaf springs.. This will let the springs to come out, then just remove the cut bolt out of frame rail

Yeah that might be the way to go. Now i have also heard of this. What if i go to loosen them and the bolt just keeps turning and not coming out?

When I did my Shackles I had to cut out the old bolts.then I just hit the bolts with a braising torch an monkey wrench they came out it just took 2 day to complete

If the nut breaks loose their is a couple of write ups on this...

Well i just did some research. Seems like i could be looking into a lot of trouble....More than its worth. I mean im guessing if a 4wd shop with air tools couldn't get it out, im going to have to do alot of cutting and this is my DD, so it cant be out of service.

See if there is any members around you that can help...These guys are cool whe it comes right down to it

I live in CA with no salt, snow, and little rain and even my bolts that had only been in there for 2 years were a pain. I used PB for a week before I even tried. Then it ended up taking a 3ft braker bar and help from a friend.
