Stuck in the middle of body lift, a little help please :)

I have a 2" 4crawler body lift kit. I've searched around and got the basic idea on the 5 bolts on each side, steering extension, radiator brackets and bumper brackets. I've removed all 5 bolts on the right side and have attempted to lift the body several times off the frame in several locations and I CAN NOT GET THE BODY OFF THE FRAME! What am I doing wrong? I've lifted at the body quite a bit and it only lifts the whole truck when I do it. Well I'm stuck till I get some sugestions, so please help out! Wanna get my rig set before dark!

Ryan

Talked to Wabfab that was my problem.

<<<<Newb

I read in several threads about doing one side at a time so I litterly only did ONE SIDE. Yeah I'm a newb with these body lifts but I have the right side lifted now . Now I'm going to attempt the steering assembly and left side. Thanks for the two responses guys .
