Re: Original TJ Body Mount Bolts
 

All you need do is look at the price sticker. The shock will put buying 6
nuts/bolts into perspective.

That and you needn't actually buy the bolts from them.... just find out the
sizes....

For the late CJ series the only bolt that was different was the grill
mount, if memory serves. /Maybe/ the cowl mounts, too. You could
eyeball each mount to look for obvious differences and pull
representative samples to compare against each other, then put all but
one back in. You're going to have to bust them loose later anyway.

It is a conversation about _adding_ a 1" lift to a YJ.

My completely SWAG is that the bolts should be the same.
