cut off the old "Bolt". drill a hole in the mounting plate where the old bolt was. insert a grade 8 bolt in similar lengh into the hole. weld in place. same thing happened to me and cost $2 to fix.

me and a buddy just ground his down and it punched out very easy.no drill needed..auto zone sells a kit tht will replace the bolt.or just find a grade 8 thats the same..

Grind down the front or back? cause If its the back how did you do that cause on mine I could get anything but MAYBE a sawzal blade back there.

I cut it off and drilled. Used a 5/8 grade 8 bolt. It would also be a good time to look at getting new shock mounts to weld on for better ground clearance. Zone off-road has a set for 35 bucks but that's if you want to cut the old ones off and weld new ones on
