94 explorer xlt
help im in the middle of doing a 3 inch bodylift on my 94 xlt. The heads on the first two body bolts snapped off. now what? Can i cut the nut on the bottom with a cut off tool. Can this be done any easier with something else. Where do i get new body mounts at? dealer or jams duff or elsewhere. Is it esier if all te heads snap off or am i in trouble? any and all feedback is helpful,thanks!
 






broken bolts

If you jack up the body alittle, can you get a pipe wrench, or vise grips around the shank? If so spray the crap out of the mount with penetrating oil, and try turning that way.
 






I cut all my bolts off with a grinder as close to the mount as possible, if it was the very front ones you broke ,I think lots of guys have this problem , I,m pretty sure they just got new mounts at the dealer. Good luck
 






thanks guys. well i have been spraying the heck out of these bolts for 4 months, with pb busters. I guess they are too rusted. Do you cut thru the rubber to cut bolt? then go and get new lower mounts?
