Default Ride height bolts

Ok, What i found from searching the forums is they don't sell these bolts with out the leaf spring. The rubber on mine is gone and making a clunking noise from time to time.

This may be dumb but how close to stock height can I get with lowering bolts? Or has any one found a place that sells the stock ones?

Thanks for any and all help.

It's the only option and you should be able to get stock ride height or dang close.

There used to be a company mentioned here, at CF, called Hardbar, that sold spring bolts that were similar to the OE bolts, but had Delrin tips, rather than rubber. Haven't heard them mentioned in a while, though, so possibly they're not around anymore. Might be worth a search, however.

I went to have my 04 Z realigned and Bam first thing was the front lowering bolts shot wanted to keep it stock looked for days nothing well found a few old sets not much better than mine . I went after market and all worked out OK getting the old ones out that can be ruff. The after market one worked out good I got mine from Van Steel..
