Replace all the bolts even if they don't break, it will just save you agony next time.

There are some triangular access holes about 5" away from the rear shocks toward the center of the vehicle. Use a straw if you can and spray the PB all over the top nut that is welded into place. Let it soak as long as you are like, then remove the bolts slowly. After the first 1/4 turn tighten them again so that the rust moves out of the threads a bit. This method worked for me and I didn't break a bolt.

IF you do break a bolt then refer to this guide:

It is well made and the pics are invaluable.
Best of luck to you, its really not to bad. Just a reminder because I would feel bad if I didn't, but be sure to "chock" the tires on the ground if you are lifting half the Jeep at a time. Safety first!

Don't fool yourself into thinking you can do it quickly without spending some time for the rear upper bolts. Be prepared to have a fight on your hands...
