Superduty spring bolt size?
Is the rear 18 or 19mm?
Fronts are 16mm?

I found your thread on where u did that. I got a fastener shop here in town and they're about 10-12$ each from what I remember which I'm totally ok with. Saves the hassle. I get a good discount though. Between 50-75% off through my shop.
Ill make sure to run nylok nuts as well
Would of been real smart if I just loaded a spring into truck last nite to bring to shop.

Crap they only had 8" long ones, 200mm.
Ordered in a couple 5 1/2" ones. Won't have these before my holidays though.

There's only about 2"s of thread on them. It wouldn't even work. I would have to run a die down them. Too much time and effort again.
