Bolt size needed
I need to know what size the bolt is that attaches the TTB to the radius arm. Diameter, length & thread pitch, please. Thanks.

quicklook2, currituckF150 is looking for "Diameter, length & thread pitch" .. I think you gave the bolt head size ..
I know you were trying to help, but maybe you should take a 'slow-look'
..

Which bolt are you talking about? The 1 in the front of the rad arm on top or bottom?
It's 2" long 3/4" diameter and 10 threads per inch. Hope this helps. Oh yeah and you know the one on top has a stud off the back to hold the spring right.

Just in case its the axle pivot bolt, for a 4wd, I used grade 8 9/16 x 4 coarse thread. You should buy a new nut anyway, so just match the nut to the bolt.

who on here would know thread pitch, and why?

always helps to say exactly what you want and why is helpful also.

Yes, those are the ones. Really just the upper one that holds the spring.

so, is 1 1/8" the bolt diameter or the length ?
or is it the size of the head on the bolt ? (which was not part of the orig question)
if you're going to answer just one part of a multi part question it "always helps to say exactly what" part you're answering ..
