Ok here is my problem. Installed a lift, was getting ready to install my shocks, was removing the old ones and had 2 bolts break off in the rear, what have you guys done in this situation? It will be really hard to drill out the way they broke off. Thanks

how will it be harder to drill them out than any other bolt? i think its easier (personally) to use an air hammer or regular and blow the weld nuts out from underneath than drill it out.

The bolts are broken off at the head, I'm not sure what they are attached to. The only thing I can think of to so is drill out and use self threading bolts. Is there nuts on the top side? Or is it just a threaded hole into a solid?

Also, when you get it fixed, put a bar pin eliminator up there. That way you ONLY have to do it once, ever again.
