Rear shock mishaps

So I went to put two inches on my Jeep and broke all four bar pin bolts on the rear shocks. Three of them drilled and tapped fine but one broke the bit inside the bolt. Our solution was to use a carbide bit on a die grinder to cut out the whole bolt and treads then put a bolt with a big washer down though the top and put a nut underneath to hold it all together. Follow me? Well, I'd like to know if this is an acceptable solution or should I do something to fix it. It's a dead stock 92 (except for the rear shocks)
 
It will be fine. JIM.
 
That is exactly what I did and it has held up just fine.
