When i was trying to install my 3" PA body lift we were taking out all the necessary bolts fist. The body mounts came out with no effort. When it came to the bolts that held down the bed none would come off. They spun and ones head snapped off. what should i do to get the bolts out so i can put the new ones in.

A bolt snapped off and you cant get the rest of it out. the rest is inside this.

idk about dodges but it might just be a clip for the nut, the clip is probably broken and spinning freely. I was able to stick a long screw driver up at the clip to wedge it so it couldnt spin and had a buddy unscrew the bolt. lots of PB blaster, LOTs of it and we sprayed it pretty much all day untill we thought it was ready.

then with the one that the head broke, i would think youll be fine cause the bolt head is no longer holding down the bed?
