make sure you get/buy PB Blaster, spray it wait 5min and give it a try, you do not need an impact wrench, and make sure your lift (rear) both sides (it makes easier to take the bolts out and put the back on, if you're not using lift. I always use 17mm wrench on one end and 17mm socket on the other. Goodluck

yeah i used tons of pb blaster on it and it still wont budge. i got the bolt off on the rear left shock, but it took some time. the bolt on the rear right shock is giving me a harder time because it's starting to strip. the impact wrench will make things a lot easier.
