    Does anyone know the size and torque spec for the lower rear shock mount bolts on an 08 DC TRD?

    Thanks,

    Ordered shocks but forgot to order spare hardware and my truck isn't available right now.

    Thanks just need the size. I like to replace bolts too when I do something since in Canada everything gets rusted to shit.

    They are a 19mm head but the actual bolt size is a 13mm or very close to a 1/2". Don't worry about matching the thread count because you are getting new nylock nuts anyway.

    Why, do nuts come with the shock? I ordered the same Bilstein shocks from one of our local auto supply stores.

    I meant that you will buy new nuts with the new bolts. I highly doubt that they will come with new hardware.

    13mm seems like an oddball size. Does anyone know the exact diameter / length and pitch. Is there a chart somewhere?

    I just pulled them out to put in my kings. I used some tabs with 1/2" holes that needed to be drilled out a few thousandths. They are 13mm. Pitch isn't going to matter if you are going to get new bolts because you can match the nuts and bolts that you buy.
