Standard Bolt Sizes On 2004-2008 F150s?

Does anyone know the "standard" bolt sizes on our F150s? I'm thinking 10mm, 13mm, 18mm of the ones I've seen so far, plus 7mm for the radio.

My curiosity is mainly for the sizes over 18mm, which is the largest in my current truck socket sets. I'm not too interested in the engine and transmision bolts, as I'd probably only work on those at home with a full socket set, if I ever did at all. But do the F150s use 22mm, 24mm, 27mm, 30mm, 32mm, or other larger sizes in the frame?

And are there any inch-sized bolts used in the F150s in the 2004-2008 series?

I'm probably not going to ever need any of these on the highway or dirt roads, but it never hurts. At the same time, a full set of the larger sizes gets pretty pricey real quick, particularly if one has to go to 3/4" or larger drives.

Thanks in advance for any information,

I know the lower bolt on the front coil-over is a 30mm, and the nut on the other side is a 1 1/16"


the rear spring bolts are pretty darn big as well...but I haven't tried taking them off yet, so no idea of their size



The 04+ are mostly Metric bolts...but a few SAE are in there.

1-1/16" is 26.9875 mm...so it's probably a 27mm. Just like 19mm and 3/4" are close enough to work most of the time.

Thanks for all the responses. So it looks like 27mm, 30mm and 32mm are on the shopping list if a suitable (cheap) opportunity arises.

Good luck,

I would check online at sears...they have an off-brand that is still guaranteed for life and sometimes interchangeable for impact and regular wrenches
