Just wait, buy aftermarket shocks and blox lca's cause your just gonna blow the factory shock anyway if you lower it on them. Its sounds like alot more money but you'll save money and time in the long run.

if its just stuck and the bolt hasn't broken yet... just take hammer and force it out of the hole.
