shackle bolts

[October_V]

OK, I am putting my "budget lift" together and it is not going to be "budget" after all.

20 year old truck needs some love before the 2" lift.

 

So can some one help me out? I need to know what size grade 8 bolts I need to replace the rear spring shackles with?

 

Was planning on hanging the 2" Chevy drop shackles, but things are going to break off and be cut off.

Will also have to buy some new rubber spring bushings, 4 shocks, axle seals, the drag link (where it connects to pitman arm), ect, ect.

 

Cheaper than buying something else I guess?

 

Thanks.

the bolts are metric. exact same ones used on the lower control arms, so if you've got a cheap junkyard near you, you've got access to a bunch of them. :thumbsup:

Bad news for me, no junkyards for me pilfer in Juneau.

I will have to get the replacements new.

I would like to save some money and stay away from the dealer/quadratec.

 

I am looking to go to the hardware, off the self replacements.

Grade 8, what diam, what length?
