You can try hacksawing the head of the bolt off then heat the shock body
with a torch, soak what's left of the bolt with liquid wrench and try to
pull the shock over the bolt.
Tap the shock near the bolt a few times with a hammer (a big hammer)
What happens id the aluminum shock corodes to the steel bolt.
I'm sure some of those chemical engineers have the correct term for the
aluminum/steel fusion, but that's what happens. 
Use Neverseize on replacement of the bolts so it will not happen in the
future.

good luck
