I tried and tried and cant seem to budge it. I tried an impact, I tried a breaker bar with both my feet. I have the truck up against a wall with the E brake on, so theres nowhere it can roll when I try to get the nut off. I just cant get the sucker off. Any suggestions??

I've had to use a 600 lb impact to remove one before.
Maybe you need a bigger breaker bar. You're probably already using a huge one, but I just was curious. I have a 15 inch bar that I used to use all the time. I thought it was great until I got a 25 inch one a couple weeks ago from Harbor Freight tools. Man, another 10 inches made all the difference in the world. (Thats what SHE said) hahahaha. Sorry, I had to say it.
Whatever you do, good luck.

Use the longest breaker bar you own and then slide your floor jack handle or high lift jack handle over the end of it. You will need 4'-5' of leverage to get this nut off. If you are a small person you might need a longer lever. How are you keeping the yoke from spinning? I put a huge pipe wrench on it with another pipe over it's handle and wedged it against the ground.
