Having trouble with ordering in the website, but it might be my phone browser.
I'll try again tomorrow from a pc.
Regardless, I still want a pair.

It went through fine this morning.
Thanks.

I had to add the item to my shopping cart, then click on another tab and then click on the shopping cart tab to be able to process the order. It works fine if you do this from a PC.

I have 9 sets remaining on this batch. There are about 14 on the list and that have PM'd me that haven't ordered.

All bolts and drill bits arrived. Just waiting on the skids now.

I thought these would accomodate stock bolts? Your pictures show both new and old hardware being used?

I didn't sign up for taps and cheesy bolts-ons- I'm still in if I can purchase without these and the design maintains oem hardware.

Exact OEM hardware can not be reused due to the extra width created. No design that wraps around the base will retain it either. Not sure a proper length OEM bolt exists for this new width application. But feel free to look and let us all know. M14 x 1.5 x 100 is the new size. Any shorter and it won't work and any longer and the threads will eventually become damaged and hard to remove for future maintenance.

I'd even make another option to sell without the hardware and drill bit for people that wish to source their own. Since I only added actual costs and shipping on this first batch for all the MUD guys, it would reduce the kit by $5.87.

These were made to be welded or bolted on (front tab) per the request from the majority of people in this thread and people that contacted me directly. The bushing/JJ eye was always going to be a bolt on.

I understand your stance and this may not be the item for everyone and I'm fine with that. You're removed from my list. Have a nice day.

You really need to do your homework buddy. Get on your back slide under the truck and look at your brackets and you will understand why the design is the way it is with the bolts supplied. There is no way you can use the stock bolts... unless you weld this thing you will need new bolts.

Pretty sure the included grade 10.9 bolt will be equal to the shorter OEM bolt it will replace.
I plan on having mine welded on, and will chuck the unused hardware in my bottomless bin of "someday I'll need that" bucket of nuts and bolts. The $5.87 in unused value will be a donation toward further innovation by TT.

Yes, welded. But hey - to each their own, buddy.
OP - GLWS. I'm out.

Sample pic was sent to me a few minutes ago. They are going to send me a couple of sets to test kit before running the full batch.
