I plan on having a AEV 2.5" dualsport lift and Teraflex front adjustable trackbar installed on my JKU soon. While they are at it I am planning to have them replace the factory bolts with these Grade 8 bolts from Northridge. However, I'm a little confused with this section of the .pdf from Northridge:
"In 2011 Jeep made a running change to the diameter of both the Front and Rear Track Bar Bolt hole diameter. The 9/16” Bolts are too wide for Jeeps produced after the change requiring the use of the 14mm bolts in stock applications."
What bolts are used in the 2015 JK (probably same as the 2014)? Was this change for 2011 only or every year since then? So, did Jeep fix the problem after 2011? It sounds like they are recommending to use 14mm bolts which is what comes from the factory. BUT, that is for "stock applications". Will the Tereflex trackbar accept the 9/16th bolts? Or, are the post 2011 bracket holes too small for 9/16" bolts?
