Default Help with shackle!

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?
