Leaf Spring Center Pin/Bolt Size

[1996xlt]

I've found other threads discussing the topic however, not a definitive answer....I pulled a set of 4 door leafs out of a 96 Eddie to put in my Ranger and know I need to flip the center pin in order to use them, but my local parts chains only carry up to a 3/8" bolt but I know its bigger than that.

Can someone enlighten me as to the correct size center bolt? From what I can tell its at least a 1/2" if not a 9/16", coarse thread (although I've seen some say it's a metric bolt 11mm IIRC.) I'm going to a local shop that rebuilds leaf springs and just want to be sure I've got the right info.


Thanks in advance.

Update:

No need to reply, however, for all who would like to know, the bolt size is 7/16."
