No problems with mine, easy install, can be welded
(you would probably pull them off and grind the area
bright where you will be laying the bead). The bolt-
in kind appear to be heavier gauge than the weld-ins,
I know the bolt-ins are beefier than the stock LCA
pivot stamping they bolt onto.

Thanks, how do you like your hotchkis springs? I have Eibach now and im looking for a little more ground clearance. HD Bilsteins will go in in when i figure out what springs to use.

I haven't had any problems with my bolt-ins. Installation was straightforward and they index using the lower shock bolt. As jimmyblue noted you can weld them if you want. Actually, I'd almost be inclined to recommend welded bolt-ins vs. straight weld-ins myself. Just IMO though...
