gets rid of the rear stock weak rubber bushings which on many trucks that ive been replacing have been cracked and they are adjustable and will make the truck ride/corner better.

djm supplies 9/16 bolts with their hardware kits for the lower trailing arm kit.
djm supplies 1/2 inch bolts for the endlink kit on the bottom portion.


2- 9/16” x 12 x 4-1/2” (for the lower trailing arm relocators)

2- 1/2” x 13 x 2-3/4” Bolts (for the swaybar endlinks)

Bringing back to top.

Im about to do my drop kit / TA relocators on my 07. So do I need to buy another set of these size bolts listed above in Grade 8. I want to get this all done at the same time while Im under the truck.

Also in the instructions it just says dont overtighten the Trailing Arm bolts. Do you have an actual torque number?

Here goes the pdf

2- 9/16” x 12 x 4-1/2” (for the lower trailing arm relocators)

2- 1/2” x 13 x 2-3/4” Bolts (for the swaybar endlinks)

Tony,

These are the bolts that come with the kit, or these are the bolts that I should go out and get in grade-8?

If you could just make and post a quick list of bolts (diameter, length, etc.) -- how many of them, and where they go -- that I should go out and get in grade-8, that'd be great.

From your post above, it sounds like that's what DJM includes, but that you recommend UPGRADING to something different.

Maybe that list above IS the list of bolts you recommend, just in grade-8 grade...?

Thanks.
