Must be nice on a new truck haha should have seen the struggle bus I rode when trying to get my 2012 bolt that also had dirt and grime on it. The 700ft# air impact I had couldn't break it alone, I had to put the impact on the bolt side to give some good vibration, and then a massive ghetto rigged breaker bar thing we made on the nut and took a ridiculous amount of time and force to crack her loose.
Truck looks good btw OP!

And yes woking on new rocks. I have a 68 mustang and removing the spindles on that thing after 40 years took me days. Literally!

What a pain in the ***! I tried, saturday, to get a 2" leveling kit installed. I got everything off, spacer installed but couldn't get the damn strut back it without risking dropping the truck on myself. I'm gonna go buy a 26mm socket to drop the lower control arm. Pisses me off.

That was my second attempt at this stupid kit. I'll try it again but I'm going to have that socket to remove the control arm. I wanted to drive that truck straight in the water after failing.

I had no problem getting my shocks in it was getting them out that was difficult. Make sure you disconnect the sway bar links and when you get the shock out you want to hammer the two bottom bolts out of the strut before trying to put it back in.
