I have removed quite few stock and raised arms and this is what I found works best. A BFH on the arm right next to the studs. Had one axle with a block under the arm and the studs sheared off flush with the top of the knuckle, luckily right in my driveway (purchased truck this way, would not recommend). That was fun getting those pieces out! BTW my favorite penetrating oil is now WD40 rust release formula. I have had great success with it. Even exhaust bolts seem to come loose easily after spraying/soaking for several days in a row.
