Important notice!!!!



It was brought to my attention that one of my customers had welded the rear shock kit to his frame and after w wheeling trip he noticed that that shock kit ripped the welds off and took part of the frame with it /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif


So this just a FYI if yours is welded on you may wish to add a couple bolts.

*Taking notes* Good to know that now, instead of later... /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif

I would use 4 7/16" per side. The new ones from here on out will be pre drilled and hardwear included.

So can we get the hardware? I can drill the stuff I have now so it'll work... lemme know how much... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

8 bolts, w/ washers and locknuts would run you about $2.50 at Home Depot...

I would use nothing less than grade 8, and as far as I can remember Home Depot doesn't carry grade 8. I could be wrong on that though.

 

[kennyw]

They have Grade 8 bolts last time I checked... But any other hardware store will too.

 

[Waxer]

sweet, thats good to know. thanks....

Looks like I'll give Home Depot another chance on some of the stuff I buy.

Last time I was there for bolts was a good year ago and the best they carried was grade 5.
