For that bolt not comign out - Get yourself a flat piece of stock iron and drill 2 holes about 2" apart in a straight line - then drill a starter hole in the actual spinning part of that lower cab mount - then take 2 self tapping screws and screw the piece of stock right into it.. it will give you a handle that will push into the frame mounts when you try turning the bolt - Hence, allowing you to crank on it and it wont spin. I had to do it that way myself since I was the only one doing that part of the lift myself as well.. worked wonders!!

have you wedged in a needle nose vice grips on it? I did that to mine when it kept spinning. I let it spin around and hit the cab mount bracket mount thing, then held it there with my hand as my other hand was gripping the impact. You are using heat, correct? And an impact?
I couldn't believe how huge mine was when we lowered her on her feet after the superlift install.
Mike is talking about drilling 2 holes on the part thats spinning, drilled on opposite sides...if you happen to hit the rubber, oh well...it'll be okay. Then put a piece of flat bar in that matches those two holes, then screw that flat bar to the spinning part of the mount.

Question, if one bolt is stuck(and presumably still tight as hell), why is one side of the truck in the air??? You may have possibly bent that bolt, which will make it a huge pain in the **** to remove... You should make sure all bolts are loose, then pull all from one side, jack it up, set blocks, set the new bolts, pull other sides bolts, jack up, place blocks, thread bolts, bam!

shane- we followed the instructions.. it says to loosed the drivers side, then remove the pass. side bolts, then add the blocks, bolts, nuts, then do the other side.. We did loosen it up before we did the pass. side. then the damn rubber started turning with the bolt..
