I broke all 4 of the bolts when I went to install the new Bilstein 5100 shocks I got. I was planning on just welding a new bolt facing down on the plate and leave the old broken bolts on top. But I'm seeing a lot fo people saying that it is just as easy to take the body bolts off and lift the body up and weld on new nuts or atleast get the old onew off.
My concern is with the body bolts breaking. I have a new to me 2003 Rubicon and I don't really know what to expect with these bolts. If I go my original route I would have to take off the gas tank as I would need to grind and weld so close to it. Who has experience with the body bolts on a TJ?
