I didn't have to replace any of the bolts for the front. I did replace my steering stabilizer since it was still stock. You will probably break the bolts on the upper rear shock. Whims for the rear may be a good idea. My leaf had them just check yours when you get them. I'm not running a sye yet and have no noticeable drive line vibes yet.

Took me a year to get mine. And I'm still not done. Just have to buy the rest slow so the wife doesn't get mad.
I'll keep a look out at the jy's I in them about 3 times a month.

It's good to have leaf spring bolts on hand. Once you get them out and see them, you'll want to replace them even if you don't have to. U-bolts are a wear part, and they should be replaced. As stated, Have shock bolts on hand, at least for the rear upper mounts.
