Thanks, fellas.
Blue: You make that sound easy! A good hammer, duct tape, and bailing wire can save the day.
Montijo: Thanks. I saw that thread from back in November, where rivnuts were discussed. But there wasn't a conclusion/solution at the end of it, other than the drilling and extraction that most threads on the subject entail.
Still, I'm curious about the location question, not having a lot of mechanical experience. Why are the bump stops mounted above and not on the LCA? Is it a matter of concern over tearing them off while offroading? Or maybe a matter of LCA integrity (although it has other holes)? Doesn't look like that location would impact the function of other hardware or lines under there. All thoughts on this welcome!
