What size bolt for rear spring mounts?
All,
I want to lower the rear of th ecar and I believe I just need to install longer bolts, say 10".
Can someone tell me what size and thread they are (ie 9/16" or whatever)
thanx
Nick

If you don't get your answer here, you can send an inquiry to Van Steel at http://www.vansteel.com and they will send you a prompt reply.
The stock length bolts are $9 each. The long bolts can be 8" or 10" in length (depends on how low you want to go).
I sold a set of these long bolts with washers and lock nuts used for $10 just a few months ago. Van Steel sells the long bolts priced at $22 each so you can see that they have to be high quality (I suspect some mark-up though).

I believe the end bolts are 1/2" coarse thread, but I'm not completely sure. The center bolts (to diff cover) are 9/16".

EDIT: Nah, come to think of it, I'm almost sure the end link bolts are 9/16" too.
