FYI
For 2004-2008 (maybe other models compatible as well), the lower control arm bolts are part number 7L3Z3B236A and cost about $75 per bolt. You need 4 of them if they all are stuck, mine were.
Or, you can use Moog part number K80087, which is a kit that includes 2 bolts and associated hardware to do one side of your truck. I bought two of these kits off amazon for $64 shipped, which will take care of all 4 bolts.
Or, if you're interested in an upgrade, use this kit which is what the Raptor guys use. its grade 12.9 hardware and is much beefier than the stock or Moog options and runs about $150 for two kits (1 kit per side, 2 bolts in each kit):

Brings back memories.
Taking this one off was the one thing that I almost brought the truck into the shop for. I was able to get it off pure muscle power using a closed end wrench on one side that was wedged against the frame, and a breaker bar on the other side with about a 3' pipe on it.

Yes, if you take a look at their product page you'll see it works for 2004+ F150s, and uses grade 12.9 hardware, and two cams instead of one.
