X-Metal woes...

[fastblksrt]

Good thing you guys caught it in time, it would have been disastrous if they came apart on the freeway. I didn't use X-metals so I haven't had any issues with mine.

I have yet to install my rear lowering kit. The U bolts I have and blocks are from The mopar connection I think. Pretty solid blocks and the bolts look real close to yours, Ant.

Good info to have on checking them periodically.

So how does it feel now Ant did they take care of the shackles squeaking?

It does not matter who's kit it is. You have to re-torque the u-bolts after a couple hundred miles. If you don't, you run the risk of the nuts backing off.
