While installing the new lift kit turns out the post on the rear upper shock mount stripped. Anybody have a direction on where to look for a replacement? Cannot find it. It is a weld on. Thanks in advance!
 
Might be able to run a die or RE thread over threads, photo of whatcha might help… I have a 1983 cj7 with tub off and snapped these photos, assume Cj8 similar. Looks like stud could push, maybe with a puller, out or might have to cut two welds. Maybe someone has done this…

Depends on how "original" a repair you want to do?

I broke one of these rear mounts on one of my '78's. Drilled it out, ran a bolt through the hole, tac weld on the bolt head, nut on the inside as a spacer, done.

Not "concourse quality" , but it works.

You could always turn the bolt's hex head down to round in a lathe, would look better :shrug:
 
Same. I can look; may have just the bolt and or entire mount. Will look tonight.
 
Ordered replacement studs from Summit. Drilling out old stud and trying these bolt on replacements. Thanks everyone. I am amazed I could find brackets fro every other Jeep but not 82-84 CJ. Thanks everyone. Ill let you know how it turns out.
 
Too slow to the draw…I have several of those mounts that spankrjs linked. I would have been happy to send one or two out.
 
I’ve got a drawer full of those shock stud kits. They come with a lot of shocks that I’ve bought.
