    Watching for the answer as I have the same set of "extra" hardware after installing my rear end.

    This is from a post in the "other" forum. I found it a while ago when I had the same question.

    "I believe they were typically used with limiting straps. You were supposed to drill two holes in the side of where the LCA mounts and bolt the straps to these and to the quad shock brackets on the other end. When they switched to Koni's they did away with the limiting straps but apparently left never deleted the fasteners. Hope this helps."

    Thanks Mike. I have the 3 link option, so no limiting straps. It makes sense now.

    PS...On a side note. I rarely visit the "other site" I do a lot of research on my computer at work during breaks. The "other site" always makes the computer freeze up and I have to CTRL+ALT+DELETE. The last thing I need to do is download a virus onto the computer system of a brewery. I would never have internet access again. Never a problem with this site though!
