Welcome to the forum.

There are people who enjoy being " that guy " I don't really care but thanks for all the positivity folks, I appreciate it. The SRT-4 forums were more or less the same, I still go there from time to time to give advice to new SRT owners. I'm far from new to forums I was genuinely shocked that welding the shock to the body was even an option that's why I started the thread sorry if I offended anybody, didn't mean to ruin your day. Threads like this make it pretty clear who you can message and ask questions/run ideas by. So far most of the Jeep folks I've met have been very cool, we used to have SRT meets all over NC with the forum members and became pretty close friends.

PS beware I'm destined to ask more " case study questions " in the future. This is my first Jeep/4x4 project.

 

Well then you oughta know enough to post the year of the vehicle and fill in your profile!! LOL.

 

Dont worry about it man. Some people are just *******s. And they always will be regardless of what vehicle they drive or whatever lol. We've all been noobs at something and asked dumb questions, not saying your question was dumb but you catch my drift.

Like i said in my earlier post when i bought my xj the previous owner had welded both rear shocks to the body. I was blown away as well. Who the **** would do that? Haha.

 

Broken shock bolts are a ridiculously prominent problem, so I guess that would be a pretty obvious solution to someone with a welder and a complete disregard for the next owner. Mine actually sheared off just from wear and tear before I even went to replace the shocks, so my Jeep's suspension is like a tripod until I can get an air chisel to do the shock mount mod with it. Rides real nice

 

Air chisel not necessary, just get up in there with a bfh and a screwdriver and pound away. I did a combo of that, and drilling out the bolts to get mine out. I was coming from the top which made it easier to work with though.

 

Thanks for the tip The holes you're supposed to fish the bolts through is that narrow opening between the floor and the piece the shock bolts to then right? That part didn't seem clear to me in the writeup.

 

Ever heard of Google or the search button? I hear it's the next big thing.I think it's a fad.

 

Dont worry about those guys, there is always the one. Check out what Cruiser posted, that should help out alot. Filling out your info thing really helps too with solving problems. Anyways, welcome to the forum, hope you like it and stay around

 

I can't find the spot to do that on the app l I rarely use the actual website

 

And just a little tip for those shock bolts, when you put new ones in make sure to use some type of anti seize compound on the bolts, i use it on everything and have never had a problem getting bolts to come back out. Permatex and a few other companies make it, i would suggest the big bottle, you will use it

 

If you can get access to a computer, up at the top of the page click user cp, then edit profile details

 

I guess I was just lucky when installing my lift. All 4 shock bolts came out without a hitch.

Good job. And funny.

It's interesting how we can see a splinter in someone else's eye and not the log in our own eye......
