Ya know, I kinda want to cut and fold my quarters on my DD but I haven't cut it anywhere. I think it's about time to start.

Worried you got overlooked?

Lower control arm bolts are 120mm long, M14x2.0mm, ISO Property Class 10.9. The stock ones are roughly equivalent to grade 8.

Uppers are 120mm M10x1.25mm. ISO Property Class 10.9

You'll probably have better luck at a smaller well stocked hardware store.

Our Tractor Supply has them.

What are the chances of that happening? Either way its pretty cool. I really like the idea of the cut and fold because then theres less chance of tons of mud getting stuck up in there around the rear leaf spring pack bolt. Also would take care of the rust. The only downfall is that it will look funny until I have the $ to build a rear bumper with a wrap around that covers that portion, like jcr's bumpers. Could also just patch the rust spot and make some lower 1/4 panel armor out of 3/16 steel. I think Il make the armor and down the road if I hit something big enough to dent the armor, and the panel, Il just cut it.
