Bolt help for my lift
Hey guys, I live 165 miles from home (where my project is) and I need to buy some supplies for my lift before I head home.
Need to know all the bolt sizes for front/rear springs/hangers etc for a '75 F250. I would have my dad go out an get them all for me but he is sunning himself in Florida, so I should get some decent ammount of work done on it this weekend. I had a few that needed the blue wrench applied to them upon disassembly, so I am just going to replace them all with grade 8 hardware.
Ivan, hope you don't mind but I'm gonna steal some ideas from your shackle reversal.....

Ya hopefully this weekend I get my 44 under the front. I really need to find a HP 44 or a 60 yet. Still gotta figure how much lift I am gonna need to do in the front yet. I have 4" skyjacker rear springs, with 4" blocks under them. I will probably eliminate the blocks all together and do the shackle flip this weekend, so I will need new U-Bolts too before the weekend.

On my '85, the rear spring eye and shackle are 9/16". However, I believe the front spring eye is 5/8". The 9/16 was kinda sloppy but it hasn't broke yet. When I did the springs and shackles on my F250, I ordered the bolts from www.jackit.com. They have 'kits' put together with all the bolts you need (locking & grade 8). They aren't that expensive ($25 for the rear and I think $20 fronts). They were all the right ones and saved 50 trips to the parts store.
You'll probably have to call up to order them as I didn't see them on the website.
