    I would bring the bolt to a machine shop or a competent individual who can Identify the exact dimensions. You may have to get it from a specialty shop like Grainger or McMaster Carr to make sure it does the trick.

    You install it yourself? How long did it take you and did you have any snags other than the bolt issue like Skunk? I would love to see a pic of the finished product since I am still waiting for the time to install mine.

    does that look right? the fronts a hair lower and im rubbing hardcore even after trimming a little off that plastic in the well. the shop told me wait a week n let it settle then bring it back n they can grind down this piece of metal underneath in the body to take care of the rub...i really hope it works out cuz that sound when i turn is TERRIBLE!

    Your most likely rubbing the cab mounts, they need to be cut more often then not. What's your caster at? That'll make a difference. Have them add as much as they can while keeping everything else at 0........ 2.5-3* on caster to stop rubbing on the rear part of the wheel wells!

    Looks great brother!! How much thread did they leave you with? Looks like you have 1.5
    "- 2" of threads showing on the coils?

    bro im not sure to tell u the truth...they said they had to crank up the coils a half inch already so ima litle confused. arent they preloaded at 2.5? so if they cranked em up a half inch they should be a 3"??? but i still have more room so i dont really know. im suppose to drive around for a week then go back in to do some final trimming once everything has settled...what are your thoughts? i could use some input...

    Lift looks sick by the way, just be carefull with all that rubbing! If your running a 285 tire 3" would be right around 38.5" from ground to fender. Only need to worry about your CV boots rubbing if your 4x. How do the rear springs ride?
