Took it to Gibbs, my 4WD man a few weeks back. I knew the eyebolt in the LEFT rear spring pack was broken (the shim was trying to squirt out) - same thing happened on the trail last November on the right side - and I didn't wanna drive all the way to Steubenville the following weekend, only to spend two hours on a trail fix... again.
So Dave agreed to fix it, figuring it would BE a quick fix... and naturally, these things NEVER are. Turns out the U-bolts were stripped, and weren't going to hold everything together anyways for much longer.
Thankfully, he had some correct-sized (and TOUGHER!) U-bolts laying around, and put 'em on there for me. I'll say it again though - DON'T trust any lift kit with the words "rough," "tough," or "country" in them - it seems I'm constantly replacing the parts that came in their kits!!!
