If you're diving into some serious off-road adventures or just need a reliable bolt kit for your Jeep, let me tell you about this 5/8-18 x 4.5 Inch Grade 8 Bolt Kit. It comes with two washers and an all-metal lock nut that really knows how to hold its ground. We're talking about a torque spec of around 204 ft/lbs, which is no joke when you're out there tackling rough terrain.
Now, a quick heads-up: this kit features a Top Lock design, so don’t expect to screw it on by hand. You’ll want to start it by hand to get it going, but you’ll definitely need a torque wrench to tighten it up properly. The unique thread shape creates a solid, vibration-resistant friction fit, meaning that nut isn’t going anywhere once it’s locked in.
One of the standout features here is that these all-metal locknuts can handle higher temperatures than those nylon insert types. That’s a big plus if you’re pushing your rig hard. The top section of the threads is deformed to create multiple locking zones, which helps them grip tight. It’s designed to start easily by hand but requires a wrench to get it fully secured. This is Grade C, which is equivalent to Grade 8, and meets the IFI-100/107 Grade C standards, along with ANSI B1.1 UNC or UNF Class 2B thread requirements.
Oh, and let’s not forget the zinc plating. It’s not just for looks; it helps slow down corrosion in normal atmospheric conditions, which is crucial if you're out in the elements. So, if you’re looking for something that’s tough enough for the trails and reliable enough for everyday use, the COR-1100121 Clayton Offroad 5/8 Inch x 4.5 Inch Bolt Kit is definitely worth considering.

Clayton Offroad has been setting the standard for long-arm suspension kits since 2001. In November of 2002, the brand became the first suspension manufacturer to offer long-arm suspensions for all four of the major Jeep models: the TJ, XJ, WJ, and ZJ.
Clayton Offroad wasn’t established on a business plan, but rather started out as a hobby with a solid business philosophy that prospered. The company is dedicated to providing its customers with the highest quality and most durable products available on the market with great attention to customer service. At Clayton Offroad, they aren’t just working on manufacturing Jeep parts, they are also competing at local competitions, riding on the trails with local clubs, and out 4-wheeling with their buddies.
Born from a Personal RealizationThe co-owner and founder of Clayton Offroad, Clayton Walters, began operations in a one-car garage. He started out designing and manufacturing rocker panels and bumpers for his own Jeep ZJ. In 2001, after daily driving a ZJ with a 6-inch lift and short-arm suspension for a year, he realized the need for a new suspension system to make his car a pleasure to drive again. In June of that year, Clayton Offroad Manufacturing, LLC was born and debuted its ZJ long-arm suspension at the Grand Slam East event in Gore, Virginia. The suspension proved to be a huge success after being driven over 400 miles to try its luck at the toughest trails at the event. Later that year, Clayton Offroad was producing ZJ long-arm kits in full swing, followed by the release of the XJ kit, WJ kit, and eventually a TJ kit.
In 2007, with the new Jeep JK hitting the market, Clayton Offroad began assessing what type of lift was needed for the model. Taking the design improvements on the JK into consideration, the brand came up with a standard length-based control-arm suspension.
Products Tested to the LimitsClayton Offroad is more than just a suspension manufacturer; it also produces transfer cases, gears, lockers, driveshafts, and complete custom axle assemblies born from its drivetrain expertise. All of the product designs and developments are rigorously tested in real-world situations to guarantee safety, proper functionality, and durability. Throughout the years, Clayton’s products have been abused and tested in professional rock crawling competitions all across the U.S. The brand takes pride in using only the latest technology, including CNC press brakes, millers, turning centers, and laser cutters to offer quality, close tolerance parts for your Jeep.
