leaf spring bolts?
I know, I know... should be simple to find and buy but i cant seem to find them, I need both fronts for the rear springs. where can i buy them? i would like to buy them from summit because i will be buying the bushings from them and i would like to get them all in one shipment.
could i buy them from napa? i looked on their website with no luck..

Re: leaf spring bolts?
LMC has them on pages 159-161 but any local spring shop should have them

Re: leaf spring bolts?
Got a local Fastenal and a tape measure? Better than that, take a bushing with you to make sure they fit.
Not trying to be rude, but who know what "fixes" have been done to your truck. My last one was quite a few, so NO one on the internet knew what was under it. (though 9/16*4-1/2" sounds about right.)

Re: leaf spring bolts?
Take the broken bolt with you. My 84 has metric in it. Think those are 14x105mm, not sure.

Re: leaf spring bolts?
Glad you got your answer. I had to change my rear leafs last spring, and I got my bolts from these guys: http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/.

Re: leaf spring bolts?
So are all 6 of the bolts in the rear 4-1/2" long? Does anyone know the correct size and length for the bolts on the front springs?

Re: leaf spring bolts?
I bought sets for front and rear, grade 8 bolts,when I installed my lift kit. Got them from Jack-it.com. I also bought greaseable shackles and bolts from Offroad design. I highly recommend them(ORD).
