I was installing my lift yesterday and all 4 of my upper rear shock bolts broke off. Any ideas on how we can get them out today?
You can pull up the carpet in back and cut a hole in the floor. There is a writeup on here somewhere. I'll try and find the link.
here is one way:

Do what I did... use an air hammer and knock those stupid nuts out then fish in some real bolts with lock washer.
bolt them in and done. no holes to cut, no headaches later.
EDIT: Yeah like the OP in the link...

Don't know if you have it in your area... but Harbor Freight sells left handed drill bits that work wonderful for removal of broken bolts. But then again so does the air hammer.... plus it's more fun at times.
