While taking off the drivers side rear springs I broke the 2 top shock bolts and ideas on gertting there out or just welding the shock to the bottom of the floor be fine? Also The front bolt going thru the spring broke on me and had to cut the bottom of the unibody to get the nut off any ideas on how to replace that bolt? Well the easiest way to replace that bolt?

I had the same issue with both rear shocks. I just drilled through the center of the bolts with a 1/8 bit then up to a 1/4 bit then ran a 5/16 tap through it and installed 4 new 5/16 x1 stainless steel blots from home depot with some anti size compound.
