on Monday I droped the front of my truck and it looks pretty sweettry to get some pics today, Thanks to Ontariov8 as he hooked me up with the front I-beams!!!

When I put my new shocks on I snaped the bolt. any ideas how to replace this or do I have to replace the whole radious arm?

I did that once many years ago and now I soak those nuts in PB Blaster and use a torch to heat them before turning them off if need be. I replaced the radius arm but you could probably get one welded on or drill a hole and run a bolt all the way through.

Bummer. Must have tightened the heck out of it or it was rusted bad and ready to snap anyways.
I'd use a grade 8 bolt and a lock nut. In fact after running a bolt through I'd probably weld it on the back side so it is essentially a stud just like from the factory.
