but as said above I think smaller kits are the way to start out. the leaf spring bolt kits are a great idea. I would buy a set. another kit could be front control arm hardware. shock hardware. maybe even diff cover bolts. ive seen some super nasty half rusted away diff cover bolts before

nice lineup man. Most seem reasonable. The only one that really jumped out at me was the coil springs retainer. Just a couple bolts right? 8 bucks? But I like it man I really do. Nice job.

I dont know if you have seen them, but for motorcycles they sell small kits called track packs with the most commonly lost or broken bolts when out on a ride.



what i'm getting at is determine which bolts most commonly break or get a sample of bolts and nuts that hold all the important stuff on.
when out on the trails, have a small kit ready made $20-35 depending on how big it needs to be. just a thought.
Cherokee trail pack? you could call it

That's an awesome idea! I would definitely consider adding that to my lineup currently for sale here.

Suspension, steering, etc. Front bumper, rear bumper, control arms, leaf springs, shackles, shocks, EVERYTHING would be included in this grade 8 hardware package.

If I do end up posting some for sale, do you guys think it would be of interest to anyone?
I’m interested in buying if you’re in stock.
