    Default Rear shackle bolt broke

    So I broke that damn bolt. I managed to wiggle the shackle out. There is about a half inch of left to grab onto. This thing is in.
    Is my only option to cut it off and tap the old one out?
    And would anyone happen to know thread and bolt so I can hit up a parts store?
    I'm pretty damn close to have broken every bolt on this Jeep.

    Thanks for the part numbers. It was a P.I.T.A to find anything local. All the Jeep dealers are closed around my area. So I had to order through a dealer that was a 45min. drive away.
    So needless to say, I got these damn bolts out. What a POS design! I even had to cut my bumper off. The bolts wouldn't budge. Good excuse to get a new aftermarket bumper. Shitty part is I'm jobless and don't have the coin for one.
    But I got on new leafs and they're frickin sweet! I went with the Clayton leaf pack. It was the next best thing to Deaver leafs which I think are way over priced. 800 for old technology? Not without a happy end (wink wink).
    I had Rusty's leaf pack on there before. When new they're okay. Nothing to brag about. But with the new leafs. Its night and day difference in comfort. I'm going to be towing some yard waste this coming up weekend so I'll see how they do with that.
    This will be the last pair of leafs I ever buy. B/c after these I'm coiling the rear.
