I had one side do that on my Suburban, I finally just cut the bolt. Mine was loosened so I slipped my sawzall in and cut it in half...

I guess you are dealing with a coil rear? If so the nut is on top of the lower frame rail under the crossmember that the shocks mount to and is easily accessed with a 3/4 wrench. Give it a squirt with some P.B. Blaster and it should come loose.
