So i am waiting for my lift to be shipped. I have read about the rear shocks bolts. and i plan on getting some 5/16 x 1 1/4" bolts,washers and nuts.

Is there any other bolts i should prepare for breakage that i need to buy?

 

Hope this helps

Thankyou. i read that earlier. I know what i should do if the rear bolts break. I even started to spray them,so hopefully i won't have any problems.

What i want to know is there any other bolts that are known to brake other than the rear shock mounts. I have almost no rust on my jeep at all. I did notice that the rear shock bolts are somewhat rusty, but i have been spraying them down for 2 days now.

I figure it will be 2 weeks before i can get the lift installed and i will keep spraying 2 x a day till then. so hopefully i'll be good.
but thanks for the link.

 

I just installed my springs and didn't break any bolts front or back. I sprayed pb blaster on the rear bolts for a week in advance. I also used mapp gas to heat up the bolts before I removed them. Heat will be your best friend. And a cheater bar...

 

OOH. HEAT! I have a map gas torch. How long should i hold the heat on there. Map gas is hotter than propane so i am guessing not long. what do you reccomend.

 

Mapp may not get hot enough. I've used an oxy torch to get exhaust bolts bright red. Depends on how bad they are.

 

To be honest, I think i might be ok with the pb blaster. but if i have too i'll torch them. Just got to remember to remove the carpet first.lol.

 

Yea I'm not torching mine

 

Its actually really common to do so with badly corroded bolts.

 

Me no have torch...

 

Gotcha. That blows. Oxy will be expensive compared to Mapp. Youcould hook yourself up with Mapp for a fair price though. Home depot ftw.

 

Cool thanks man

 

Rear spring bucket and shackle screws. They are 10.9 - 2 x 140mm I believe.
