I called Marshalls hardware for you...they are checking in to see if they can special order those bolts for you Frank...should get a call back in a bit..Ill post up if I find something.

DONT use a threaded rod...the threads will wear down while cutting into the area where the joints meet...this will make your a-arms wear down and the threaded rod will be weaker RIGHT where you need it to be the strongest.

IF ANYTHING find a 10mm solid rod of grade 8 or better...cut it long and thread both ends...you NEED the shaft part to be smooth there it pivots.

Ill put a few other lines in the water...let you know.

If I find a supplier Ill hit up Fabtech so they can add them to their kit.

FOUND THEM for you Frank.!!!!

BUT...they are approx 4.50 each (sounds right price wise as compared to grade 8 bolts of similar/shorter size)

you have to special order them, you have to buy 50 or more and it will take 8 to 10 weeks to get them in your hands.

Marshalls hardware called and verified hey had a supplier that can fill that order.

Id get with FABTECH and have them place an order with you...and find a list of customers holding those long travel kits and get together to make a bulk order.

Dont know if this will actually help you because of the bulk order thing but...at least they ARE available somewhere....you NEED 16 for your ride and a spare or two...now you need to find 4 other guys looking for those same bolts.

Call me and ill give you a name and number of the guy you needto place the order with

WOO HOO...

Thanks Jeff, I need only 4 but I can take 6 of them, I call you and let you know ;-)

Grade ?????????? they need to be Grade 8 or better ??????

sdmotard

those were grade 8 bolts that the guy quoted me on...but you cant have just 6...you have to but 50 or more to get them at all...get ahold of fabtec and see if they want to purchase them to include in their non assembleable kit...IM SURE that every person who baught that long travel kit is bitching at them for this same issue. (or at least they may be able to give you some comntact info so you can get together with 9 other unsatisfied customers to make this right.

GOOD LUCK and let me know.
