I have to get a alignment bolt to better align my wheels. I was told they are about 20.00 bucks.

My question is is a bolt just a bolt in this case, or is there a special "cool" bolt that I should get.

Sounds kinda funny, but I'd rather get a better bolt then just a run of the mill bolt.:shrug:

You already have them installed on the LCA's,standard on all KJ's.Now if ones frozen in place you will most likely need a new one and the correct ones are dealer only and $50 each and you have 4.

Okay, This new bolt I would need was described as having notches on it for measurements. I have heard of this before, apparently it is longer or something.

I got the alignment after lift. So with the new height the current bolt does not have enough to allow for proper alignment. (chrysler tech told me)

What lift?

Either you have to allow the lift to settle and get it re-aligned or invest in JBA's UCA's.Always have them sacrifice caster for camber,as long as you got at least 2-3 degrees of caster and the cross caster is within 0.5 degrees you will be fine as it is not a tire wearing angle like camber.

OME shocks & springs lift.

What you said jives with what he said. "won't notice wear on the tires".
I just want to be perfect if need be.

is it just me or does that look like the worst alignment ever?


2.65 left side and .4 right side for caster? That's ********.

your camber on the left is now worse than it was. the camber wasn't even adjusted on the right.

He doesn't know what he's doing. turn around and run!

Lazy mechanics need not apply when it comes to aligning a lifted KJ.
