What's the best way to fix the rear frame where the shackles mount? When changing out my rear end both sides the rear shackle mounts fell out, kinda scary

Really need to see a picture of the area, to advise the best course of repair.
Most likely, will require a new section welded in.

it would definitely take some pictures to steer you right but if you are lucky you can do repair plates over the damaged section
