It's just a bolt in the end of the springs. Chevy doesn't sell aftermarket replacements. Hardbar sells high quality bolt with a Delrin bushing instead of a rubber OEM bushing. For the rear, Hardbar has a titanium bolt to reduce unsprung weight. The Hardbar kit doesn't allow you to go as low as a cut OEM bolt will allow you to go. The OEM and Hardbar bolts are both limited by shocks that are too long. To go lower you'll need shorter shocks.

More carbon, I'm still waiting for my VBP springs. *sigh*
