    Hey guys. I'm looking to replace the driver side rear leaf spring bolt. When I put my new leafs on a year or so ago I put the bolt on backwards and had to cut it down to prevent interference with the frame mount.

    Anyone have a link to some solid hardware? I don't want to order something on Amazon and have it rust out on me.

    Wheelers Offroad usually has them. OEM if you can find them through a dealer.

    Backordered at the moment. I'm seeing some greaseable bolts for the older Toyotas. Wondering why there isn't any 3rd gen hardware with greaseable zerk fittings.

    McMaster-Carr is a good source.

    While McMaster is super useful for most things, they have basically zero selection of good corrosion resistant coated metric fasteners.
    They have a small selection of "zinc flake" imperial hex heads (not even flange head) bolts.

    are the OEM bolts backordered at just your local dealership? quick google search shows online dealerships having stock, but I know sometimes they are not accurate. https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toyota~bolt~flange~90080-10138.html

    If you have an Ace hardware nearby with a solid fastener supply, you may find suitable grade 8 or better.

    I ended up just ordering a couple from an OEM wholesaler. I'm honestly just surprised there isn't an offroad oriented online shop that sells a kit. I guess the consensus is that the stocks stuff is good enough or guys are going custom.

    O.E. "11" grade flange bolts are the best choice but the thread starter said they weren't readily available.
