Where can I find the leaf spring bolts? The 5" long ones that attach the leaf spring to the frame.

I have searched online but some of the reviews are saying the treads don't match so want to be sure I get the right ones.

I ordered some standalone bolts before doing my springs, and they ended up being the wrong ones. They were the bolts used to attach the spring-eye to the shackle, but were too small to be the bolt that attaches the front spring-eye or the shackle upper to the frame.

But I had some luck. Because I had ordered 2 dorman shackle replacements, which were a bit expensive, but I chose them because they included bushings and 2 bolts each.

To my surprise the 2 bolts included with each shackle were the larger eye-to-frame bolt. Which turned out to be very helpful, because I had to destroy 2 of the eye-to-frame bolts on the spring removal, and the shackles ended up providing me with 2 spare full sized bolts.

I don't know if this helps much. Just wanted to share how I got them.

Those are the bolts i need for sure. But my shackles are almost new so while that would work don't want to pay for stuff I can't use.

Someone has to make them just need to find out who. Might call the local dodge/jeep dealer and ask if they can get them.

Just bought some, they were right. I did find it amusing that they come with Loctite already applied to them; I removed it and applied some anti-seize instead.

x2 on the morris4x4 ones, screws right into the welded nut inside the frame pocket and they come already coated with some sort of thread sealant

It's basically red loctite. The same thing is on the original bolts, which is why they're so hard to get out. You kill red loctite with fire. Apply heat and they back out without breaking them.

Thanks for that info and link. I have a coupon from Morris from when I bought my list so time to break it out and get these ordered.


Edit: I did call the local Jeep dealer, it took a while but they called me back. They can get them also for $8.10 so had them order me a set.
