    Does anybody know what thread size the 3 bolt studs in the attached picture are? I'm looking to put a DIY ARB compressor bracket there and wondering what size nut to lock it down with. Thanks all.

    Nevermind. After much google-fu, they are M8x1.25

    Would this be worth adding to the bolt size sticky? I've seen this same question posted several times.

    Did you ever figure out a mount using those studs? I actually stuck my ARB compressor down in there a few minutes ago to see if it would fit and came here looking for what size Studs those are LOL.

    I bought the oem abs brake system bracket and drilled a few holes and mounted it to that. Worked out great.
