YJ shackle lift

  • Got the bushings ordered. I can just get Grade 8 bolts and locking nuts from Dover Hardware, right? Some kits show Grade 5, or drilled bolts with zerks.


    Just good 'ol Grade 8 bolts will be fine, right?

  • I ordered the bushings today from Rubicon Express, they were in stock, so I might be doing this shackle lift this weekend. I've started spraying PBB on the bolts already. Anyone want to join in the fun? BBD, if you're around I could use the experienced eye.


    DEJeepman, still available with a cutter?

  • Dr. J - When are you thinking? I would like to lend a hand, especially since this is what I want to do to my YJ.

  • Let me be sure the bushings are in hand, but I'm guessing early Saturday AM (Dover Hardware is open). I'll know more tonight. Jeff and his cutting wheel are key as well.

  • Quote from "BBD"

    Both grade 5 or 8 will work for this
    Make sure you get the locking nuts....... not lock washers.



    The ones with the white or black inserts, right? Dover Hardware should have those. How about stainless? Any benefit?
