Hello All. Finely finishing up the one ton kit I bought two years ago and have been working on since May. Somehow I have lost the top shock mount bolts and nuts. Does anyone know the size and T count? My wife would like to get out of the driveway this summer. (Only level spot in my yard) And if mama's not happy.....

Gary, if its not raining tomorrow I'll throw my caliper at those bolts and post the length and diameter, but the thread count just needs to be the same as the nut Laughing To be proper, it should be a shoulder bolt of certain diameter&length with shoulder of certain length and a self-locking nut. You really should not have been able to use it anywhere else, it's supposed to be 9/16 diameter (but mine don't look that thick) so I will check tomorrow when adjusting my alignment.

Thanks a lot. It also looked to me to be a 9/16 but not sure.
I have know idea how I lost them both and the nuts. I think the wife is cleaning my garage again.
Thanks

The upper shock mount bolts on mine are 9/16 X 3" with a coarse thread and self locking nuts. I didn't get far enough under there to measure the bottom ones, but they may be different anyway on your new setup.
