Re: Bolt size
1/2"-13 Mine are 3-1/2" long, but no clue if they are original. I just put rear shocks on yesterday. That's on a coil spring truck.

Re: Bolt size
Thanks Shawn, I'll see what I got in stock. Would you know if a shoulder on the bolt is necessary and what length that would be.

Re: Bolt size
The factory style shock bolts do have a shoulder. I am not sure of the length. I think you will find that a 1/2 bolt will fit loose in the hole. If the bolt comes loose it will beat the crap out of the hole in the shock bracket.
Long story short, make sure the bolt you use is not to loose in the hole of the bracket or the shock. |

Re: Bolt size
Mine were just regular grade 5 bolts in the back. seemed to fit tight. I know the threads were 1/2-13 because I chased them before putting them back. But no clue if they are the original bolts. Shocks looked like they might be original. Truck has 109k on it.
