Default oem bottom shock bolts

when we lifted the jeep, the bolts were incredibly rusted for the bottom part of where the shocks mount in. i was wondering if you guys knew where i could find the oem replacements for them seeing we destroyed them in the process.

I had the same problem and other than finding them at the dealer, I was out of luck. By the way, for 1 bolt and 1 nut, it was approx $25. Go figure

i think that was basically what they told me. seems a little steep for just a nut and a bolt. they gave me some that would work but aren't exactly the same for free though.

bolt is $5.85 nut is $7.45 but I'd gladly sell them for $25.00 seeing as how I am the stealership. I'm sure putting it back together with "that would work " will get you by for a while.

It's an 18mm bolt head, so I don't see why this could not be picked up at the local hardware store. I believe this is the bolt we are referring to...

the built in washer and everything of the oem bolt just makes me feel better. im not sure if its that much structurally more sound.
