    I was pulling off the shocks on my 73 cj. The fronts came off no problem. The rear shock mount on the frame on the passanger side the stud busted off. I went to the drivers side and the threads on the stud stripped off. So how do I go about replacing this? Can I buy new mounts and weld them on? Or have people made their own mounts to bolt the shock to the frame?

    fixed it! I got some shoulder bolts from work. They have a 5/8 round shaft and 1/2-13 thread on the end. I cut out the old stud and then replaced it with this. :stout: for me :rofl:
