    I am upgrading the bag setup on my Tacoma. Putting Michigan Metal Works control arms on and re doing shock mounts.

    The lower arms come with a spindle spacer that i want to use, running 20 inch wheels currently. Having trouble finding a bolt to replace the factory 2 that bolt the lower ball joint to the spindle. Does anyone know the size , pitch count etc of the factory bolts. Thinking the new bolts will need to be 2.5 inches long.

    Also would like to replace the bolts that bolt the Upper Control Arm Pivot Shafts to them frame. 2 per side mine are rusted. Havent had any luck finding them locally or online.

    Got back into Mini Truck scene after a 10 year break. This is my 3rd bagged Taco 1st body dropped one for me. Have been working on it for last year and a half. Bought with it painted have put all new bags, valves , compressors and tank on. Will redo the 4 link and rear setup this winter/spring.

    Any help on the bolts needy is greatly appreciated

    Some pics of my truck and the updated parts and bolts I'm talking about.

    I had a buddy that is a machinist measure the pitch of thread.

    M12-1.25 -70 mm works for mine.

    I tried 80 mm lenght at first and they were about 10 mm long.

    Fastenal close to me had them in stock.
