Did the "metal washer" coil lift but snapped shock bolt

[jake1z]

started the metal washer lift today. bought 16 total washers 1 3/8 id with 3"od. yopur able to fit 8 on each side and still fit the bolt on with out any problems.. equals a little over a inch 1.25 inches.

any way my problem is the shock bolt snapped on the drivers side. the threads are inside so im gonan have to drill the damn thing out and re thread it. any one have any idea what size drill bit ill need or what size tap? thanks.

look at the other side and match the threads off of that.

thats exactly what i did so that how to would be perfct. luckily when i snapped it there was a couple threads left i was able to get a another nut and squeeze it on there... truck looks good now i just need an alignment wheels are pointed.
