Default Help please

I started lifting my xj last night and all 4 rear upper shock bolts busted after a week + of pb blasting plus various other things that are giving me troubles, but anyways my main concern right now is where do I go from here do I drill them out? Do I use an easy out, are the threads reusuable usually?

You can drill them or beat them out and sneak a nut in thru the little hole near them. I drilled them out and then used a bi-metal hole saw and drilled a hole over them thru the floor. bolts, washers, lock nuts and easy access for the next time.
