Nuts and Bots ?

I'm putting new rear springs on my EB and would like to replaced the Bolts & nuts.
I know the head of the bolt is a 15/16.
But i can't tell if the bolt is a 9/16 or 5/8 bolt.
Also it looks to be a 4' in. long bolt?

Dose anyone know what the right size bolts for the rear leaf springs are?

I want to have the right size befor a tear it apart and then have to make 2nd trip to the Nuts & Bolts store because I got the wrong ones.

Thanks,
Clint

Take the truck apart first and then take the old bolt with you when you go to purchase a new bolt. If it's your ONLY vehicle...then have someone give you a ride to the store.
