Default Winter upgrades slowed.

Well my winter upgrades have now turned into spring upgrades.I chromed and lowered my front end this weekend and for my first time I think I did a decent job.I went to lower the rear last night and I cannot get the rear shock bolts loose to save my life.I even brought in a larger,younger,and stronger man than myself and he could not get them broke loose either.I searched for threads into the early morning with no help.Am I missing something folks.Thanks in advance.
Chris

Heat the bolts with a heat gun or hair dryer to help melt the loctite.

I am getting my butt kicked and feeling pretty stupid.I finally got the shocks off and installed LA Choppers blue springs and a Burly adjustable lowering kit.It went back together just as hard as it came apart and tire is shoved up into the fender no matter what adjustment I make.The Burly kit is part no.B28-257CH.Do I have the wrong kit?Thanks for any help.
