front coil spacer
I got a 2 inch spacer for the front of my F-150 and I was wondering what size the stud that holds the botom of the spring is? Any tips for putting it in? Thanks

is it the kind that screws down onto the exisiting stud on the very bottom? the nut is a very good size, like a 13/16" i believe...but the stud i am not so sure about. back when i had my f150 i removed my coils all the time just to see how fast i could do it!

The nut is 1 1/8"
The hex on the stud
The thread that goes into the axle is 3/4"-10
Torque is around 300 ft/lbs
I used a cheap combo wrench with the open end sawed off and a 4ft cheater bar and a freind.It's something i never want to do again. What brand spacer? Mine were Tuff Country ones that were with the lift kit i have.

I got the block from maco manufacturing for 35 bones. THe stud extender didn't look all that complicated so I decided to try to fab it up myself since they wanted another 35 bucks for them.
