Reddit reviews Rough Country Rear Bar Pin Flag Nut (fits) 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ | 1082

Thanks for the quick reply! re: broken bolts - I'm doing the job in about 2 weeks and I've been PB blasting all the bolts every couple of days to try and avoid it, but I also just picked up an air hammer and this flag nut piece from rough country, just in case.

Word of Advice!!!!

Make sure you have Replacement bolts for the Rear Leafs! Go to a Spring Shop for them, no Hardware store will have them..
Also, get this..

Return it if not needed..

Fronts are easy, don't even think about paying someone to do them for you.

Rear shocks, on the other hand..... those might end up being a pain in the ass if/when the bolts break off.

Rough country makes a quick fix for if/when you knock the mounting bolts out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV-WCWPrNMU

Shop around for parts, odds are you'll get better shocks for less than what the shop was going to use.

Edit to add shock recommendations.
This is what I had on my previous XJ. They're supposed to be the equivalent to what's found on the police package, and I was extremely pleased with them. Current pricing has them at $40/ea shipped via Amazon Prime. That's $160 for shocks alone.

Front - Monroe 550016 Gas-Magnum 65 Shock Absorber
Rear - Monroe 550017 Gas-Magnum 65 Shock Absorber

If you throw in the Rough Country flag nuts, that's another $30 right there.

Rough Country - 1082 - Rear Bar Pin Flag Nut (Cherokee XJ) for Jeep: 84-01 Cherokee XJ 4WD/2WD

That's a $370 difference between doing it yourself or letting a shop do it, and no idea what quality of shocks they're going to use.

I kinda know what I'd do, but that's just because the $370 saved can go a long ways on an XJ if you shop smart. (Shop "S-Mart!!!")
