I considered this, but when I removed the nuts from the 1st U-bolt it wouldn't come out of the frame, but I guess that when I pulled the other nuts and lowered the jack they would probably come out right? Guess I will beat on them some more and if that doesn't work I'll pull some U-bolts. Thanks for the quick responses.
