I just recieved my 2 inch aal kit from rough country and was planning on putting it on this weekend, but I had one question, do I need to replace the old U bolts with longer ones or will it be fine, the kit came with new center bolts, but not U bolts, any help is appreciated, thanks.

 

You should never reuse ubolts

 

I thought so, so what size would i need, and where could I get them? at a local auto parts store or do I have to order them through rough country?

 

a local 4x4 shop will pry have them. if not i'm sure you could call rough country and order them. You want to try to get grade 8 if you can so you know it won't break on you.

 

so I started to put my lift on last night, after getting my u-bolts, and got the left side rear done, then once i got the right side apart, and then back together, we went to tighten down the center bolt, but 3/4 of the way down the threads were shot on it, so I couldnt tighten it down, so I have some crappy cell phone pics from last night, but I will put them up once im done, getting a new center bolts today then finishing it tonight, thanks again for your help with the question.

 

lifts done, so heres some crappy pics from my cell phone then some good ones once it was home.

 

more pics

 

Looks good. Now what size tires are you putting under there?

 

well those are 23s under there now, gonna stick with them for the winter atleast, then....no clue.

 

23"?
Here's a 22" on a ZJ.

Yours don't look like 23.

 

his are stock. 29's o thoml

 

I know 30's fit on stock ride height. Are 31's worth his headache or is he gonna have better flex with 30's? I'm thinking of doing a 2" shackle/spacer kit until I can get the lift I want.

 

Probally 235s not 23s.

 

haha yea sorry about that they are 235s
