I think I might actually be able to find some time to install my LCAs and need to know of I need to get new bolts for them. I think in the past I've read where it was recommended, but I want to make sure that I am remembering that correctly before I go out and waste my money.

My kit came w new bolts but only for where the LCA mounts to the shock and axle. The instructions said to re-use the other 2 where it bolts to the frame...take a look in the box and see what ya got!
Oh and let me suggest removing the shocks when you do the install. Just the bolt where it mounts up top. It really helps being able to move the arse end around to line up the holes when you put her back together! Have fun!!!!!!!
 
I don't think you have to. I jacked the threads on 2 when I was taking them out. (the ones at the axle). I went to the local ford dealer to get new ones. They only sell them in packages of 4. They cost $42. Lesson learned. Be careful removing your bolts.
