Doesn't make any sense unless the weldnut in the frame rail has broken loose so you're not actually tightening it fully. The OE bolts have lock washers on them.

How would i get to the weld nut being that's inside the frame rail? Fack, this doesn't sound pleasent.

It's not. A guy had to do it a few months back and took pictures, you basically drill from the top (or side) and cut an access hole so you can get into the rail. I'd verify that's the problem first, if the nut is loose the bolt should be hard to get out since it's just rotating.
