Longer TB bolts are really just for when your factory TB bolts are maxed out and or your TB's are worn out and sagging. TT rules with longer TB bolts still apply for IFS, you only wanna do 3" (2wd) and 2" (4wd). You can get them from Todd Z. at Zabteck.com, he also runs the www.mysporttrac.com site.
 






thanks i wasnt sure on that cause i got 3 out of mine but wanted a few more inches
 






I ordered mine from zabteck, Will be installing them on my 2wd this week. I don't have the tt done yet but I figured it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and get the longer bolts
 






soon2bsick, you'll wanna cut them down some and round off the tops so they sit in the torsion key cups. I have a set and will be installing them soon to regain my TT lif, my TB's are sagging bad.

Just make sure you measure before you remove the bolts and after the new set are installed so you know how much lift you get.

any idea how much to cut down?
 






When you take your old set out, cut the new ones down to about 1/2-1" longer then the old ones. This will give you plenty of bolt but not too long so their sticking way below the TB brackets.
