Trying to complete the lift on my XJ and am going to have to cut the front leaf spring bolts out (stupid bolts seized in the bushing...both sides!!!).

I meant to grab another bolt before I left for work today so I could get replacements and forgot. Can someone tell me the numbers for that bolt so I can pick replacements up today at lunch?

Thanks in advance!

I know they are 14mm but I don't recall either the length or the thread pitch.

You can use 9/16" for the bolts at the shackles, because those have nuts you can get at, but the forward bolts go into captive weld nuts so you have to get the 14mm. Dealer is probably the best source.

If you go to a mom and pop hardware store to get them (like I did) make sure they are G. 8
