Hello

Following KYB's compatibility guide, I ordered a set of MonoMax struts for the front and rear of my 720. The fronts bolt on with no problem, but the rears don't. The ones that came in the mail have a 5/8" ID rubber bushing while my truck has standard 3/8" / 10mm OD stem (bayonet) mount.

Looking under a co-worker D21 Hardbody, I saw that it uses the rubber bushing type (like what came in the mail). Can I swap my 720's the lower shock/leaf spring mounts to the bushing/hardbody type without any problems?

as long as it all bolts up its fine... there is no problem swapping components out as far as safety or reliability or anything... you'll just have to see if will bolt up or not
