    Sounds hella expensive. Maybe grind off the bolts and just get new bolts? Are the bushings that come with the expos already greasable?

    Doesn't allpro offer stock length shackles for like 85 or something? That would work. Stock length is 4.5" correct?

    Yeah I called and that's what they said to. Wheelers has those greasable ones. But they say it only fits OME springs. Toytec has the same ones for cheaper but they don't say weather they work with all springs

    I just sent allpro an email concerning the use of grease-able bolts with stock shackles and their bushings. Will post up here when I get a response for those of you that want to use stock shackles and still be grease-able.

    Cool, good luck. Sent them a email about a week about to see how long the U bolts on their flip kit are. And still haven't heard anything back.. Are the grease-able bolts from wheelers??

    I think you'll need to go with 7.5" long u-bolts. The greaseable bolts that I'm talking about can be purchased from allpro
