You could try to treat them wit a torch to get them loose with heat first.

Before you get crazy with a torch and risk the integrity of the steel, which bolts are you talking about? To get the ones connecting the lower balljoints to the spindle, I've often had to resort to the 3/4" drive breaker bar with a 6' pipe. Get some good penetrant like B'laster PB and give it a chance to work. If you don't have a cheater, get one. Just be careful how you're pulling so you don't break or dent something (or yourself) if something gives suddenly. Most bolts are replaceable. However, you're unlikely to find them at Home Depot or Lowes.

shouldnt dent anything because the entire fron suspesion is sittin on the ground. ill try pb blaster first I'm trying to get it down to the K frame so everything has to come off!

To break loose the ball joint to spindle bolts when I did my front disk brake conversion, I wound up having to park one of my cars on top of the steering arm portion of the ball joint to hold it firmly enough to get the nuts and bolts apart. I was literally ripping my bench vise off the bench.
