If you buy parts that replace your OEM hardware (bolts in this case) please make sure you are not unknowing downgrading from OEM specs.
This is the original set I ordered:

This is the second set I ordered, and am still waiting on delivery:

Awesome of you to let us know!!
ReplyDeleteUsed grade 8 washers. OEM bolts. I realize I have a tad less thread bite. Easy peazy.
ReplyDeleteOuch..was that a hammer to the thumb?
ReplyDeleteGood info!!
ReplyDeletei saw another video of a guy that got different hardware for his
ReplyDeleteThanks, good to know
ReplyDeleteThanks for the hook-up brother!
ReplyDeleteAmazon has a delrin kit from Ohio diesel that's ~$26 with 10.9 bolts!!
ReplyDeleteGood call to detail! Just put mine in last week and my kid said it makes a world of difference because she's 5'6'' and she's only 14 yrs old. Mine are 10.9 and the spacers are made from Billet Alluminum. Justa s a helpful hint. You might want a Impact wrench to take these bolts off. I only had a breaker bar and it took me some serious muscle to take the bottom 6 bolts off. You will also need a deep socket or socket extension to keep from bending the seat hardwear.. Best of luck. and I know you will enjoy it or at least your passengers.
ReplyDeletethats one thing i don't like about buying off of Amazon. I ordered a rear view camera last month for our car, and it was the "perfect" camera. Got it, and like a dummy I routed everything without testing it first. In short, the camera was trash. Red and heavily distorted video. I did the same thing about contacting the seller to just work out a replacement. I was directed to go through the refund process with Amazon. Totally turned me off with the seller. Ordered a completely different camera from another seller. But of course they wanted me to remove my feedback....
ReplyDelete*JKU problems.
ReplyDeletegood video. I had to go check mine, they are the right ones. you have to make sure the little ones are going to be safe. thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Great info as usual. I went with the same kit that you have on order, have been pleased.
ReplyDeleteHey CPO I'm about to order my own seat spacer and I'm just wondering if your second order came in with the right hardware bolt grade...
ReplyDeleteI have a question, I have ordered these and can't wait to put them on for my kids who complain (justifiably so) that the rear seats are uncomfortable. my question is how much room does that extra lean eat up in the cargo space? I need to have an ARB fridge and slide there and I am wondering if that's going to be an issue?
