strut removal

I went to put on my revtek leveling kit today but i couldnt get the strut bolt off on the bottom. I tried to get it off with the impact wrench and it still wouldnt budge. Anyone have any ideas or can tell me how they went about getting this bolt to come loose, i tried using a socket and wrench with a breaker bar as well and still wouldnt budge..need some ideas and help. thanks

I used a foot long adjustable cresent wrench with another smaller one holding the nut end. It took all the strength I had.

On the drivers side I used about an 18" box end wrench and braced my feet on the frame to break it loose. The passenger's side was a socket wrench with about a 3 foot pipe slid over the end for increased leverage.
