Question shackle nut loose from body frame

I'm working on lifting the back of my cherokee, as i tried to loosen the shackle bolt i broke the welds on the nut.
i've cut about a 1 3/4 hole on the bottom side of the rail to try getting a wrench or a socket in there but nothing seems to fit
this is where i'm stuck, how can i get a tool in there to get the bolt loose?

any help is appreciated

I just replaced my springs and damaged the threads in one of those nuts. I had to remove the bumper and bumper brackets to get in there. Then it is recessed into an little alcove in the frame rail. Good luck.
