Thanks. I thought I read something hinting that you could but wanted to make sure. I have both sides modded now. 1/2" clevis pins, drilled out my stock links for 1/2", had to use a slightly thicker washer on one side to make it tighter.

35k on this setup and no problems so far knock on wood

What did you use to grind it down and did you drill out your sway bar links too? I'm want to keep everything stock right now. I would like to mod the pin to work with out drilling out my swaybar link holes.

Couldn't you just do the same thing with a metric bolt (same size as stock) and drill for the retaining pin? That way no extra mods to links etc. are necessary and tightness is same as stock.
