I'd cut a section out, about and inch to either side, cut yourself a piece the same size, and then weld it in.

ya that would work i was thinking drill a hole 3/4" and leave it like that.. theres holes all through a frame whats one more? or is that spot by the shock a high stress area and needs to be solid?

My take on the frame is this: It is the foundation of the truck. It needs to be as solid as it can be.
The foundation of my house has holes in it for windows. But if I go down to the basement tomorrow and find an extra hole in the wall I'm going to Lowes for some blocks and cement mix. I'm not gonna say "Eh, what's one more hole?"
