how many of you DIDN"T have to cut a seized/rusted bolt on your leaf springs or upper rear shock mounts?

I've got a clean '99, arizona jeep, no rust, and I'm wondering what my chances are that i'll have to cut the bolts with a sawzall or something like that? is it a for sure thing, or are my chances good for a problem free swap?

 

well i had my lift on for a year now and i just replaced my add a leafs with full leaf packs and i still had to cut the upper bolt for one of my leafs springs and it was only a yr old. so chances are highly likely youll havta cut least one.

 

i have a clean arizona 96 and i didnt have ANY trouble with ANY bolts and i never used PB blaster or any penetrating oil. i would use it for safe measure if you are worried. and a breaker bar is your best friend ! best of luck keep us posted

 

The shock mount bolts is what got me. Did a bar pin eliminator to fix that problem.

 

'88 xj, bolts come all loose, little rust all around.

 

i live in northern indiana and i didn't have to cut anything. it was on a 00

 

I live in Jersey and my Jeep was rusted badly. I had no problem with the shackle bolts for the leaf springs. But I broke all the upper shock mounts. I did use PB Blaster 2 weeks prior to everything, too.

 

alright cool. crossing my fingers!!!! been PBin for a few days already, got another 8 days b4 the new leaf springs are in.

 

Ditto. I live in Ohio though.

 

Got 2 Ariz cherokees, I did the shocks on one and every bolt screwed right out. The other did lift and broke all the upper shock bolts in the rear and the lowers in the front
