I need to make a new offroad-ready bumper for the front of my truck. Mostly due to an ice situation that occurred a few weeks ago :roll:, but also becuase I have been wanting one. Anyway since I need to make a bumper I wanted to also add a little extra lift for the body to even up my 33" tires. However i do not want to go to a full 3" PA lift becuase there are some parking garages that may be problematic when in the city.
So here are my plans I bought 6ea 3" lift blocks that will be cut in half each to 1.5". Now I need to figure out how long, and what size of bolts to order. I was hoping someone has the stock bolts laying around from installing a PA lift, and they could measure them and post the sizes. I've searched everywhere, even parts places but nobody lists the specs for these bolts. My only other option was to take mine out which would be a PITA:thumbdwn:
I thought maybe I may even get lucky and be able to switch the longer bolts into the shorter mounts and then just purchase a few longer ones.
Anyway thanks guys... and yes I will be creating a thread for the mods once I have all the parts and it warms up around here. This 13deg stuff is a bit drastic!!!
