Default Lowering our ZO6

We tried lowering our ZO6 today--The rear was really easy to do, but we are having trouble with the front. We've followed the instructions we were given, but can't get the bolts to turn. We've used a jack under the springs like the instructions said and they still won't budge. Any tricks to getting these things to turn?

WD-40. A wrench and a hammer to get it to turn. My bolts were pretty difficult to break, just keep at it.

We've rounded off one of the bolts at the top trying to get it to turn. We have sprayed WD-40 and PV Blaster on it and it still won't turn.
