Bolts keep breaking!

My 95 stroker has the twin I beam and where it bolts into the frame (2 bolts next to each other) one keeps breaking is there any fix for this? It does have a six inch lift.

Is your truck 4X4? If so, it's called a twin traction beam or TTB. Breaking the right bracket bolt (left axle) is common. There is room to enlarge the bolt and get more tightening strength.

If it's a 4X2, then it's a twin i beam front end. I've never heard of braking one of those brackets.
