Purchased this SS through rock auto and I've come to realize that the hardware pack that came with it does not work with my 04 wj. Just to ask, this part should fit my truck with the right pack, right? Does anyone have this installed and came across this issue?

Also had an issue trying to remove that nut on the axle bracket so I took it to a local shop to see if they could remove it with an impact driver, and they rounded it out, but I managed to remove the bolt anyway. I should be ok just reinstalling with the same bolt and leaving that rounded nut on there?

Go to an auto parts store with the old bolts and tell the guy u want new.ones.... Call the guys u ordered it from as well

Tried to install the same ss on my 04 wj today, and seems the tie rod bolt that comes with it is too short. Going to buy a longer bolt tomorrow, and see if that works.

I just installed an SSD107 about 2 weeks ago. There were two sets of hardware in the package, one larger set with thick washers for the various Ford applications it fits, and a thinner bolt for the Jeep applications. The hardware all installed just fine.

As for your nut...that nut is welded to the axle bracket. The outer shape is not important as long as the threads are good.

Thanks billzcat
I realized I panicked a bit- after thinking about it more I figured that out. All went together fine in the end.

To add, I'm pretty happy with the SSD107, it's a noticeable difference. Now I'm not floating all over the road!
