Does the RK X factor Long arm lift already have what the grade 8 bolt upgrade kit has or should I order the grade 8 kit to go with my lift?

I thought about taking the same approach with the bushing a while back. If its only 1mm thick its not going to be cheap to get the strength you probably need. But (and I havent looked to see if this is a better option) you could always drill the hole a bit larger and then put the bushing in. That way you get the right sized hole and a thicker bushing. If it works well you could probably find someone to make some out of stainless and even heat treat them for under $10/ea if you have the demand for them.

I thought about that, but, removing the sleeve out of the trackbar I don´t think it would be so easy. But in the end I will probably be doing that. Take de sleeve hole to 16mm, a 16mm grade 10 bolt (can´t go wrong with that), and maybe a little drilling on the bracket...
