Anyone know why my drivers side front axle shaft won't come out, it turns freely and will not come out.

How much time did you spend Yanking on your shaft? Maybe it just needs to be Yanked harder? What about Beating on it first a little.. to loosen it up, then a good Yank....

Tried doing that and it's not wanting to budge on the stock shafts are their c clips? From what I know the stock shafts don't have those.

Mine was a bitch to get out too. Just keep pulling sand wiggling. Be prepared you might hit a wall or fall on your ass.

That's weird for sure..... Sometimes it's ok to ask a good buddy for a helping hand.... If the two of you Yank on it at the same time, it may pop a lot easier.

Nope, no clips. Just have to manhandle it until it comes out.

Nothing. As already mentioned, a slide hammer will help. A brass hammer will help. There has been a few post threads with folks having a hard time but they will come out.
Did I say get a bigger hammer?
It may be easier to pull the whole rotor assembly the first time as they do get some rust buildup... If you leave the rotor on, you can use it to pry against.
Also, get a bigger hammer.

Try turning it slightly while pulling it through the knuckle. The yoke gets caught on the round hole in the knuckle being that the stub shaft yoke and the axle shaft yoke twist.

If you thought the axle shafts were bad wait until you try the ball joints... Just when you think you're at the point of breaking the press you're about half-way to breaking them loose.
