go to an OSH, ace hardware or true value and look at their specialty hardware drawer section. you should be able to find a 12mm grade 10.9 washer or 9/16" grade 8 washer to weld on to your control arm mounts. for replacement bolts, you can use a grade 12mm x 4" grade 10.9 bolt and nut or 9/16"x4" grade 8 bolt.

oh, i see you are in montobello, you might want to go to downey and check out all american home center on firestone blvd. they will have what you need.

you may not need both but both will help you dial in your front end well. the lowers will allow you to set the position of your axle and the uppers will allow you to set your caster. if you do have cam bolts installed, you will need to get your lower control arm mounts at the axle repaired with a set of washer welded in place to make the slots holes again. does this make sense?

I am installing the Pro comp 4" lift next week on my 2010 JKU. Everything I could find said that the rear track bar bracket works great. They all also said that new adj LCAs and a new adj front track bar were a must. That is what I went with and will be installing, thanks to this wonderful forum.
