I received my Dobinson IMS shocks and coils a while back and getting around to installation. Started with the rear, busted one lower shock mount bolt, finally got the time to drill and tap it out. Will be pulling the springs shortly and had a few questions.
-Should I replace the current bump stops just for the sake of upgrading while the springs are off? If so, any suggestions for which one's? Mild lift, C59-222V front with ARB bumper and winch. Rears are C59-223, no real heavy additional weight, just cargo and rack. Tire size 275/70/17.
-How about the rubber isolator seated inside the coils? Replace or keep?
-I only broke the one bolt but was wondering before I order another one, should I replace all the bolts I'm removing just for the hell of it? Or just clean up the one's I already have?
-Should I use anti-seize when I go to re-install?
Any other suggestions for replacement while I'm under there and in process?
