Track bar bolts with RK track bar bracket question?
So I just installed my Rk2.5 lift yesterday and today I went and bought the track bar bolts that were recommend on the forum. They are the 9/16 18 3" long Fine thread with grade 8 lock nuts. My question and or problem is that the bolt seems a little short. The bolt goes all the way through the nut till about flush with the end(so it is going through most of the nylon part but not sticking out of the nut). Can anyone let me know if this is ok, the next size bolt was 4" which would be to long and not tighten. I installed them with washers on both sides top and bottom of the bracket. Here are 2 pics of the top one to get and idea.

Get the lock nut without the nylon but the lock nut that looks like it crimped at the top, they are shorter or get a longer bolt

Look at how thick the washers are. Stock uses a flange bolt and no washers. The bolts in the Northridge kit are 4" I believe.
But yes ... You want the crimped metal lock nut.
