I had the same problem, ended up drilling a hole in the shock mount post, tapping it and using a bolt with a washer to hold the shock on.

I broke both bolts on my drivers side while doin my last lift, I tried fishing a nut in with a hanger but realized I probably couldnt hold it well enough to tighten it on. I ended up cutting a little access patch in the floor and bolting them in from the top....
