    For sure man! Thanks for the fast shipping. I have a set of the offest ones that I got when I ordered my first set from you for my OEM ADS shocks. So if anything I have a set for one set if I fuck up the extraction of the LT shocks. haha

    Nice!

    Does MCM use the stock 14mm bolt and width on his LT kits or 1/2" bolt and 1.25-1.5" width?

    Probably true. I'll try and salvage the ones I have but feel pretty fused together.

    I do not sorry, as common as they are I sold what I had and haven't need to order more in quite a while.

    I can get them if your OG ones don't come out of your ADS's. But I bet the will.

    I’ve gotten some old rusty crusty used ones out with plenty of penetrating oil and a screw driver to punch them out by the inner lip.

    Still battling it. I've drilled out as much as I can before getting into threads. But if this doesn't work which I'm doubtful it will I'm going to try some welding tactics.

    I don't even fuck with trying to drill shit out anymore after I have see so many successes with welding. The heat just blows away all the corrosion and the shit pops right out. Not sure what the back side of the spindle look like but if you can get a big ass nut on it and fill the middle, making sure the weld pool doesn't hit the spindle is your best bet. Or even a smaller nut that fits inside the bolt material.

    I removed stainless bolts that fused to aluminum just this morning.

    yeah I've done that on my front diff bolt. Welded a big ass nut to it. Will try this out tonight.

    I have the other side with the new slug in it and prepped for spindle gussets.
