Default Ran into an issue installing RC lift

I was installing the RC 3" lift this weekend. Front went in with no issues, upon taking the rear leaf springs out the drivers side front leaf spring bolt broke off. I was able to get the bolt out but the threads are damaged on the frame mount. I found that the bolt is a M14 with 2.0'pitch thread. My question is that should I just tap with the same thread or do I need to go bigger?

get you a cut off wheel and an extra bolt, slice two angled lines opposite of each other (basically making a tap) dip it in oil and run it back thru to try and straighten it up, mine did the same thing and thats what i did. then i put anti seize on my replacment bolt
