A whole wet bolt kit is $100 on Amazon. THey're just greasable bolts, sleeves, ect.

Not really the full story. They do away with this whole crappy system of just snugging down the nuts so the shackles/through bolts can rotate with the movement of the suspension. The wet bolts use shoulder bolts that tighten down to the shackles and there is no movement except the through bolts in the brass bushing. This is how the suspension should be set up from the factory.

I don't follow that explanation, the original bolts with straight knurling to prevent rotation. In my mind it is still the same crappy system with bronze bushings replacing the plastic ones and a halfass way of greasing.
