Big f'ing mallet. Bang on it and then bang some more. Drink a beer while banging on it. Have your g/f or wife make you a sandwich and feed it to you while banging on it. Eventually it will give way.

Get a sledge hammer, 3-5 pound, and hit the top of the spindle from the side. Don't beat on the bolt or the uca. Hit it good and hard.

You might want to put the nut back on the bolt while you hit it with the hammer so that when the spindle/knuckle finally drops out it doesn't just drop on you. Obviously not completely tight, a few turns should do it.

Nothing, just the correct way to get the bolt loose is to hit the spindle according to the instructions in all the lift kit install guides. I'm sure you can deform the bolt though hitting it hard enough.
