Track bar bracket
 
Im replacing the stock track bar and bracket with a new Rubicon Express drop bracket and new style track bar. i can get the track bar off at the axle end, but the bolts for the frame mount bracket are frozen, i snapped one (the forward bolt bottom of the frame), was wondering if im screwed, if anyone has had this happen, can i just plan on snapping the other one and replace the hardware?? the two bolts in the wheel house come out, infact, i had them out and anti seized them prior to re-installing hardware . So if i just broke off the other, what size are those bolts/nuts?? i ask only cause search turned up nothing, and the bolts are so deformed with rust/corrosion, i cant begin to tell what they are. Thanks!! btw.. i had been soaking all the bolts down in PB Blaster for about 5 months ( 2 cases just for steering and suspension bolts), (literally) and using heat.

If you snapped the bottom weld on bolts that fine. Just take them off, including the welded nuts, and buy some bolts and nuts and use them to tighten the bottom of the bracket. When I installed my HD track bar I snapped the front weld in nut, I just got a bolt, nut, and washer and bolted it into place. Don't really know why they had those weld on anyway... should of been a removable nut from the factory in my opinion.

I just put a rubicon track bar and drop in mine, and broke both bolts ont the bottom of the frame. Just go get some grade 8 bolts the same diameter but maybe a little longer so you can run lock washers also.
