I used them all they do is open a small half circle on the square hole. It was a pain in the ass to drill all 8 of the out to make the bolt fit but that's only because I used a small dremal and it wasn't adequate. I love the ride and haven't had any issues. I wish I would have taken pics to share but I was to busy grinding lol
Interesting I was under the impression for some reason no cutting or drilling would be required . I am going to go check them out right now. I guess with no cutting or drilling they would just be a normal bolt

Yeah not much cutting at all if you have a good cutter it will be easy. It's minimal.

WOL- Thanks for clearing that explanation up for me. I took a shot in the dark with google search. From your interpretation of it, and from Chaz's explanation of his install, it's essentially a cam bolt. Just the cutting alone would most likely prevent me from doing adjustable LCA's in the future with that lift...

Chaz- Any way to take a pic of how it looks now?

Here is some pictures of them .

They are more a cam spacer the bolt is not adjustable just a standard bolt all your doing is changing the spot the bolt is in the bracket. Adjustable lower control arms would be best of course.

Once those are placed in the hole it leaves a small portion of the mount showing. That is what you trim off

And Yes I would agree if you ever are going to get front lowers I would not install these.

Chaz,

Like a champ. Took a 5 hour drive down to the gulf of Mexico with it and it is awesome. Rides better than stock IMHO
