The bolt, washer, and shim for the rear that came in the kit that I received is definitely a smaller diameter than the bolt, washer, and square shaped shim that came in the kit for the front of the cab.

The kit I received could have been packed wrong, but I doubt it since the bolts are also listed individually at different prices ($7.95 for the front and $4.95 for the rear). Maybe someone else who has ordered a kit can confirm if the rear hardware is a smaller diameter.

I agree though, if the hole in the rear bracket will accept the larger bolt then I'd just get a new bolt, washer, and shim rather than mess with the nut on the inside floor.
