I broke a bolt off at the right rear upper shock mount. Tried to remove it by drilling a hole into the bolt and turning with an ez-out. The ez-out broke in the bolt. After much cursing and soul searching I did the only thing that I could. I cut a hole in the tub to access the welded nut and dremmeled it off.
 The hole is still there. I think I'll make a removable access plate for it.

you could have just taken off the body mounts up to just in front of the doors, then jacked up the body and stuck your dremel in there...no need to cut the tub next time!

I left it as it is with the new hardware...I figure if I ever have to get at it again, I only need to lift the body enough to get a socket on it.
The reason it was tackwelded in the first place was just to make it the same effect as a nutsert. But the bolts are small enough and weak enough grade 5 hardware that they just rust and snap...I broke all 4 of them As for your hole, I would just weld a plate over it and then paint it and call it a day. I doubt anyone will ever even notice it once you patch it up.

I put aa 3" BDS lift in a 97 TJ and you will want-pb Blaster, spring comp., my pitman arm puller broke and had to use a cut off tool to cut the pitman arm off of the steering box. (Be careful you don't have to cut all the way through, cut 80%-90% and take a hammer and chisel and it will pop right off!) also make sure your transfer case will go into 4lo before you go wheelin.....LOL

buy replacement leaf spring bolts
if your rig had stock springs on it for many winters of salted roads like mine, just buy the new spring eye bolts kit when you buy your lift. i was able to reuse my fronts but had to use a sawsall to cut of the rear ones. they were rusted to the inner bushings and no amount of PB or hammering would get them out. it's easier to just buy a bunch of metal blades and cut them suckers off.

Hi.. claminitials.,
Each jeep is different, but mine (98 XJ) requires me to wear the shirt of the cases about 1 / 2 "to get rid of the small wave transmission line. Some say that you should use a track bar bracket, or bar reloating Adjustable track, but I did not. garage door sensors, universal garage clicker |
