I started on mine today I'm going to try one side at a time I have three bolts out on driver side two bolts broke ,behind the rear wheel and the #1.#3 came out pretty easy the reinforcement plate on 4 is dust. Passenger side #4 broke going real slow on the #3 hoping it won't break. So far 2 cans of Power Blaster. The scariest one is the #2. this is gonna take a while. I bought the mounts and replacement reinforcements from Bairs in a kit.
most people do one side than the other. Sounds like loosening all of them up first is the way to go though. Being loose, they'll keep the body to frame aligned.
I am working on my now also. So far I have all the mount bolts loose, broke the cage on number four but no big deal. Got everything else loose, working on the front end then lift off one side at a time. If you need some links with info pm me and I will pass them on to you. Good luck go slow. Lots of PB blaster also.
