F250 SD U-bolt nuts size
Hi all,
Just a quick question: What size are the rear u-bolt nuts on my 2003 F250 SD 4x4 (see sig)? I was wanting to replace my over-load springs...but do not have a deep socket that will fit. I rather not purchase 3 or 4 shooting in the dark...if you know what I mean. Especially since these trucks are half standard and the other metric.
Thanks,
biz

Hey Catfish...that is what I was trying to avoid. If I do not find an answer here...may have to go that route. Problem with that...is I will have to use an adjustable wrench...and getting it to exact metric or standard will be kinda tricky at best.
Thanks for the reply...

If you have to resort to an adjustable wrench that is a bad start.

OBTW: After doing a complete search...on my FORD Service manual DVD (sometimes it takes a while to find stuff)...the size of the U-bolt nuts are 16mm. and require 185 ft/lbs torque.
Thanks for all the replied.

The U-bolt nuts are 24mm ...and not the 16mm. The 185 ft/lbs is correct.
