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.

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 ..
