I was curious what the stock body bolts were i believe they are metric but what is the length of them? and what grade of bolt are they...i need replacements but slightly longer due to the sloped body lift i am doing and i wanna know stock bolt lengths and sizes so i can compare for the lenght difference. so any help would be greatly appreciated... and if you have done this and know exactly which sized bolts work for which position of body mounts and could tell me what you used that would be awesome too...thanks so much!!!! :roll:
 






Stock bolts are metric and grade 10.8. The length varies with each body mount.

Don't do a "sloped" body lift.

You'll stress the bolts and shear them off. Not good.

Use the same size 2" or 3" body lift supports all around. A body lift kit comes with all the hardware in the proper length, and are so inexpensive it's not worth doing it wrong.
 












I second Anime

well as for the sloped BL part...i've heard the pro's and the cons of it... and talked to quite a few ppl that have doe this mixed with the SOA and 2" coil spacers up front and they have had no issues so im going that route still... and thanks for the info
