High Country wet bolts
This post is primarily intended for HC owners. I have a 2017 HC and finally got around to doing wet bolts. Jacked it up by its jacks, blocked it up with 6 ton jacks front and rear then got to work.
Surprise. Pulled the first spring eye out and was dreading forcing out a cheap plastic bushing. Low and behold, Keystone put brass bushings in with just a plain bolt. Pounded that bushing out as well as a couple more then compared them with the bushings in the shackle kit from MorRyde. They miked out the same and all were in excellent condition. Left the others ones as they were, just cleaned them up and inserted the wet bolts.
Easy peasy! Whole job only took 3 hours including set up and tare down. Impact wrench made short work of a few over-torqued bolts. Point being that if you have a HC, (mine is a 2017) you might already have HALF the wet bolt kit. If so, and you're dreading the upgrade to wet bolts, its not the PIA that some have encountered. And, at 72, if I can do it so can you.
