Am thinking of replacing shackle bolts w/new wet bolt kit from tweetys-they list a 2 1/4 & a 3 1/8 kit how do you order proper one 5er is a 2008 durango 325 w3 slides. thanks for any help,Johnalso how about replacement shocks-just take off one & have it measured at auto store?

Measure the existing bolts to know what you need. If you are also doing heavier plates allow for those too.

How about changing the whole thing out and go with the Dexter E-Z Flex suspension system. Go to Dexter e-z flex on google and learn more about it. It comes complete for $170/ 190 $ better the ride and no increased labor.

Just had these put on my rig. The old bolt holes were really opened up with wear. Still waiting to try them out.

If you want the best, step up to a Mor/Ryde IS independent Suspension system.

I believe the 2-1/4" and 3-1/8" refers to the length of the shackles.

X3. The ride seems much quieter after the mod - I'm happy!

That's what I did on my previous rig. Not much more money than just changing the bolts and the same amount of work.
