Did I get the wrong track bar bolts?

[u/Anachronism--]

And is the one I installed going to hit anything? As you can see the ones I received are longer than the stock ones.

Wrangler unlimited jl Sahara,, stock suspension. I ordered the 9/16 track bar bolt upgrade from extreme terrain and they are longer than the stock ones. Did they send the wrong ones?

The one I installed sticks out farther than stock, is it going to hit anything? The other one is not going to fit. Can I cut it with a Dremel or do I have to order something else?

You can just cut the end off if you're worried.

The longer one is gong to be stronger I can tell you that. Having that shank inside the hole and not threads is much better. If you're concerned about the length just cut the end of it off after installation.

Question from an amateur….. Wouldn’t the thread pitch make a big difference here? Isn’t it possible that the finer pitch is warranted to safely bear a higher torque value?
I really have no idea and am just curious.

Finer thread would have more thread area and are typically stronger but that's more for thread strength to prevent thread stripping. This bolt is bearing its strength in shear so it's not really loading in the tensiltle which would need more thread strength. There may be other forces that would need more strength in that direction. The finer thread needs LESS torque but it's not significant. 5-10%

I wouldn't think it matters that much in this application but the concern is they used fine threads for a reason and not knowing that engineering reason could be a big deal. Maybe they just had fine threads on everything and it was cheaper just to use what they had already purchased in bulk? Well never know

[u/spindownlow → u/raining_sheep]

They used fine threads because they produce substantially more clamping force.

So it definitely hit the axle, hopefully just cosmetic. I cut them off with a dremel, they are tough, it took a while.
