From JU board. Quote: Urgent message from Rock Krawler about possible 3.5" lift kit incorrect bolt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While installing the top fork carriage bolt on my '08 Grand Cherokee ... the bolt snapped; I notified Rock Krawler. This is what they posted on the WK Grand Cherokee Forum ... I'm reposting it here, since they said it affects the Liberty also. Rock Krawler Suspension Follow Up -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To All We at Rock Krawler Suspension Inc. got a phone call about this today (11/3/08) and we looked into it. We found that the company that stocks our hardware bins for us had mixed in grade 2 1/2" carriage bolts instead of grade 5's. This is a big mistake so we are putting these posts up to make consumers aware of the situation. If you have carriage bolts with the markings on the heads of 307A and HKT this is a grade 2 carriage bolt and should be replaced immediately. Please contact Rock Krawler Suspension Inc. at 518-270-9822 with any further questions. This goes for the KJ/KK/XK systems as well. Please spread the word. We have sorted through the hardware bin and have removed all the improper hardware! Respectfully, Rock Krawler WOW Grade 2 bolts being used

Test message. RK is still responsible for the bolts provided to them. They should be doing QC checks on the components. |

Grade 2!?! Yikes! That's just about strong enough for a set of bunk-beds.

Graded bolts are supposed to be marked with the grade on them. They should have noticed right away when they put the kits together. Grade 2 bolts will turn your lifted KJ into a "low rider" real fast. They are legally liable as TokyoJoe said. |

They should be contacting every one that bought a kit from them, not just posting it. |
