    The kit came with new ubolts. I had to re-use the stuff at the top of the stut as well as the bottom strut bolt. I can't figure out how to upload pics. I unbolted the LCA from the frame to drop out the old strut assembly and install the new one. That made it real easy, but make sure to mark where those little "DIAL" looking things so they go back in yhe same place

    This is a 2nd gen lift. FYI. 886 coils will not fit.

    2nd.

    Saws can be rebuilt. And will have a better valving for better ride.

    I have heard they (any rebuildable coilover) are easy to rebuild yourself...and most places dont charge that much to rebuild them anyways.

    ended up ordering brand new sway away 2.0 coil overs instead of the used 2.5s. I dont need 2.5s/ they were a little beat up and had 10k miles on them, I got the brand new 2.0s for 120 more
