Thanks for all of the advice etc... I found a bolt at ACE much better selection than lowes and home depot by far.

The ride is awesome big improvement of stock. I installed heavy springs went from 14 and 15 up front to 19's. In the rear I went from 55's to 60's. I also installed Blistein 4600 series HD shocks and a bliestein 5100 series steering stabilizer. WOw what a difference!!

But the steering stabilizer didnt really do much in fact I can tell no difference at all from the stock stabilizer. Just improved the looks I guess over stock one.LOL

Thanks again for all the help. I did all the labor my self with help from you guys and all the writes at JK project. Saved alot $$$$$$$.

yea - most aftermarket SS are no better than stock. if you have your front end setup properly, the SS does very little work on the road - where it helps is off-road/rough roads to help cushion bump steer.

I don't plan on replacing mine until it's worn out.

Good job on getting it done - it's a challange at times but what is learned is worth it.
