Thanks for all the replies. I have lots of ideas to get it done. I will tackle it this coming weekend.

Long wrench, and a 3-5lb sledge does the trick. No heat necessary. Just give the wrench a few hits while pushing on it.

Sounds good. Shocks came in today. I will give it a shot with the wrench and sledge hammer. If my wheaties don't give me the strength required to break the bolts loose then I will try applying some sort of heat.

You guys were right. No heat necessary. I used a wrench and a 4 pound sledge. A couple of hits per bolt and they broke loose. Much easier than what I had anticipated. I broke loose the bolts and nuts today after work and will finish removing and installing tomorrow. Thanks for all the input!
