Possibly. I’ll crawl under and look. To do that i would need to get a spring compressor and disable more of the front end?

No, but you'd have to take the other side apart, drop the whole works down, and then you should be able to access the back side of it. You may need to get a body manual and see if that shows how this comes apart.
With the upper ball joint usually they're riveted and when you replace you grind them out and put bolts on. So you could probably replace these rivets with bolts too, but you're going to have to check if you can even access the back of them to install bolts.

That sure looks a lot like a wheel stud. Some time digging through what NAPA has for something close?
Edit: ARP makes some longer than normal studs.

Spacers
I just had the same thing happen! I was able to fix it but have all of these weird spacers. They sit on the stud/bolt that broke in between the pivot shaft and the bracket/plate that the bolt comes through. Are these spacers for some part of the alignment? It seems like the alignment is definitely off. Most of them had already fallen out when I was taking it apart thankfully they were still sitting in that bracket but I’m not sure how many to put on Either bolt.
