im installing new lift shackles and i been reading on this site a few different things. i was wondering if by cutting into the frame a little will weaken it too much? and what if i cant get the old shackle bolts off and i just cut the whole shackle off and the old bolts and remove the factory welded nut my self and feed a new bolt and nut through the hole and just tighten the nut that way without welding it to frame. would that be a go for it and be strong enough?

 

I would like to see what everyone says about this.

 

me too. was just an idea since my xj welded bolts are prob going to break with my luck lol. sounds like a easy quick solution to it.
