Thanks for the info. Yep new Bilsteins and of course I hit a snag

I sheared a bolt in half. I wasn't even turning that hard with the 3/8s. Broke it in half. So I had to take the shock back out and get out the vise grips.

After a hour and a lot of convincing( cussing ) I got it out. So now I need a new bolt for bottom drivers side front shock. The good news is that I got the pass side on with no issues. Anyone know how I can find out what the part number is?

Thanks
