Default Shock Mount Issues

When replacing my rear shocks for the lift, all 4 bolt heads snapped instantly even after soaking in pb blaster. So to finish the lift and get it moving we spot welded the new shocks in. Bad idea! It melted the bushings and both broke off leaving me in even a worse situation. I'm supposed to take my jeep to this show and he's going to try and help me. Any ideas before I take it in and spend too much $$
