I've run the same shock bolts on my truck since day-one (still the
factory ones now) - ProComp ES9000's, KYB, and KYB MonoMax shocks (this
includes the swap from Fabtech to Hotchkis suspension).

Just curious: How tight are you setting the bolts? (Should be set at
80ft.lbs)

Subject: DML: Broken Shock Bolt (Matt G. DAKSY, others)

  I know a few people have had problems with the lower front shot bolts
breaking on the ProComps. The front lower drivers side shock bolt just
broke today on my Dad's 97 4x4. It seems to me that Matt G. replaced
that
bolt several times. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Will
replacing the bolt with a grade eight solve things? Any first hand
experience would be great. I've got the same shocks on my 95 and am now

wondering if I should check those bolts on mine.
Thanks.
