Rear Kit 9.8105R $15.99
http://autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker...EEGS%7C%7Etrue
Front Kit 9.8120R $20.99
http://autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker...0%7C%7E9.8120R

3.5" long 3/8" Grade 8 bolts cost $3 for 2 of them and 30 cents for the two nylock nuts.
When I looked at the kit, it said on the package that it came with Grade 5 bolts. What'* the difference?

Anyway, I was VERY impressed with this upgrade. It'* the first thing to do before going to new shocks/springs. Getting the old components apart will be the hardest thing with all the rust. Get some PB Blaster penetrating oil to take care of it.

grade 5 is the strength rating of the bolt. grade 8 is the strongest.

It'* a very good upgrade for the price! The difference is extremely noticeable. I was going to install mine this weekend but it poured every day.

I did mine at Bill'* yesterday .....I make a good difference.....From what bill noticed and me the fronts were fairly new and really east to get off.....the rear is easy......and if u can't get it off, just cut it off, right Bill?? Anyways I think I need to tighten mine up a little more....it'* better but not as tight as I would like it!! For u though it should make a big diffenence if they have never been changed out before!!

or if your cool like me, you try and use heat but u light the bushing on fire and before you can put it out using mountain dew, it burns a hole in your cv boot, spewing grease everywhere, and resulting in the purchase of a new axle.
