What is the size of the bolt? We have a place, Blue Collar, that carries tons (they sell them by the pound) of graded bolts and I need to go there and stock up on some grade 8 and 5 bolts, nuts and washers. I also need to replace the spring bushing bolts. Are you also changing the spring center bolts? I thought I would take mine apart, clean the sufaces and reassemble them. Let me know. Tim
Ya its the drop in flip bracket set for the 73-87 trucks. The way it looks to me Im going to need a pretty big notch to make it clear. I read through a million old posts here & couldnt find a whole lot of info for these. Ill take a bunch of pics & will post them. I have the box off so it should show up pretty good.

Im not changing the spring pack bolts, Im not changing any of the springs so Ill let that be. I did change the bolts on my 84 because I took two springs out. Funny thing, I flipped my 84, installed long shackles & took 2 leafs out & it didnt drop as much as the 69 looks like it will end up. I may have to add a little more front drop. I put in 3" springs but may have to go 4". I dont really want that short of a spring but I want to keep the 6 bolt drums in the front. Ill keep you guys updated...corn
