Well, the Slee lift install was going well until I hit the passengers side upper control arm. The forward bolt is fused to the rubber bushing and cannot be turned. The UCA's rear bolt and ball joint are free so I can move it around and the bolt in question just moves with the UCA.

Penetrating oil, mucho heat, BFH all have been tried but no budging. I considered trying to cut the uca and bolt but I dont think its possible, tolerances to the frame where it mounts are too tight. Is there an acid or something that would eat the bushing? I'd obviously have to be ridiculously careful and cover everything else that's not metal but that's my only thought.

Truck is at my buddy's house and I didn't take pictures but hopefully yall grasp what I'm explaining..HELP! Haha
