I believe firm feels sells bolt on shocks bolts. You will have to drill out the plates where the original stud was.

Once upon a time there was a chevy truck (82?) that included a similar bolt on shock mount bolt with replacement shocks. Those trucks were prone to the bolts coming loose and the threads being destroyed by the looseness.

The have the hole plate set up not just the bolt.

They are part of the plate.... You could drill the hole out and use some type of bolt arangement if yours are damaged.

I checked firm feels page and could not find them, but I really do remember seeing them listed in one of their print ads in mopar action a few years back. I might be wrong and it was a different company, but I definately remember the bolts being on the page where they listed all the tools they offered for sale that were for rebuilding a mopar front suspension. I would give firm feel a call. Another choice that does have them listed but you have to call for pricing is espo and they have a good reputation with the mopar crowd as well. espo's page--
