wd21overland Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) The bolts don't need to be replaced but it's always good to have them in case they break upon removal like mine did lol. There are 2 different lengths so here you go. Frame side bolt is M14 X 1.5 X 3.5" long. Axle side bolt M14 X 1.5 X3.75" long. Make sure to get grade 8 instead of 5 since its a pretty important bolt lol. Edited February 2, 2012 by wd21overland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Metric bolts equivalent to grade 8 is grade 10.9. Grade 8.8 metric bolts are like grade 5 standard bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmoore4512 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 If you are going to go through all of the trouble of pulling them off to swap the bushings, (they are certainly a PITA)... Have you considered beefing them up, or replacing them with some heavier units? Do you have a welder, or access to one? Some DOM tubing and your set... Welcome to the forums!
