You definetly need an impact. It's going to kind of round the big bushing a ltitle, your going to have to hold on to the channel locks with a death grip, and impact it out.
It is the hard part of the body lift for sure.
EDIT: Hold the top (the big part, I think I have a pic I may dig up)

Reason I say is, my impact wouldn't budge kevoo's, I went to my buddy's shop and got the mac 850 and it came right off...it actually came off so fast that the pliers flew out of my hands

From experience, I've put on 9 body lifts...you need to use a big big impact. We had to use a 1000ft# one for 2 trucks...it was a heavy heavy tool we got from the fire department maintinance division. Sometimes that bolt is in there.
I guess try a breaker bar. It's not going to shake it loose like an impact would though. If anything go to a shop and ask a mechanic to borrow his impact. Give him like 20 bucks or something...
You need a big impact...but it deifnetly can be done w/o a big one.

Ok so heres what I try, you guys keep on saying everything I've tried. PB blaster, torching it, breaker bar, 2 people holding it, channel locks, regular rachet.
Is it the bushing thats above the body mount or the bushing under it thats threaded? I came up with the idea of drilling a hole thru both bushing and the body mount and putting a bolt thru it to hold everything. Input?

Well you are going to have to drill out the threads anyway. The threads are on the bottom of the bushing (toward the ground). It is inside the rubber bushing. It is shaped like a cone, with the bottom toward the ground.
The way I did it after I put the block on top, was put a bolt through the top with the threads sticking out the bottom, used a bolt on the bottom. I've done that on all the trucks.
We keep telling you to do the same thing because it is the right way to do it.
Get 3 people. Two holding the breaker bar with a cheater pipe on it, and one hold the 6-8" pipe wrench on top. Hold the pipe wrench with a death grip and have the two people spin the breaker...it should just come loose. I've only had a problem with two trucks and they were both newer.
I have only used a breaker once, and it was way harder than the impact.
