2000 Explorer 5th shock

^ Do you recall what size bolts are needed? I used to get graded Hillman flange bolts and nuts from Lowes hardware's website, free shipping even with a free MyLowes account.

They have scaled back the availability of those, now I can't get sizes I could a year ago but Home Depot and others also carry graded bolts, though on HD's website I only see up to 7/16" in the graded flanged series from Hillman.

I'm pretty sure they were M10 or M12. As I recall, the limiting factor in my case was the diameter of the shock bushings at each end, not the mounting holes on the frame..
