Could just pick up some grade 8 fine thread bolts and grind the head down to size and be done. I did it and I worked perfect. I didn't want to wait for them to be shipped or pay 2x the price as a bolt that would do the same.

Still waiting on some 3 link pieces.. AH!
Going to pickup my rustys shocks today from my local dealer.. also will be picking up some tires possibly. 33x1250s looks like what its gonna be.. really wanted 35s but they arent in the budget, and...i dont want to ruin my tranny just yet. 35s will come when the jeep is ready for them..
Mickey Thompson MTZ's... here i come.

Just picked up my shocks. Rears are around 10-11 inches of travel, fronts are 12-13 inches of travel. Should be plenty for what I want.
Still debating between 33s and 35s.. 35s are only 100 bucks more a set (Mickey Thompson MTZs) on 15x8 wheels. Still gotta order coils and leaf springs.

35s is what I really want. But im still up in the air. My front fenders are ready to go with 35s, backs need to be cut and folded. Rustys has shims and centerpins pretty cheap, may just go to the warehouse and get em.

My front fenders are ready too lol i hacked them up bad. IRO's are still cheaper but you have to add shipping. I want 35's but i need a tranny cooler.

I have a tranny cooler. Im more worried about blowing the d30 then I am the tranny. I think 35s will be fine though, ill regear to 488 around august if I go 35s.
