Rear shock bolt question
Ok I got one of the rear shocks on my 06 f250 cc replaced. But on the passenger side I ended up stripping the nut and bolt on the lower part of the shock.
I called up the local ford dealer and no one had one in stock so they ordered it for me.
I go to install it today and the bolt is too large. Not sure what they gave me here is a picture of the two side by side.
Any suggestions?

Just measure the bolt that was removed from your truck and pick up a replacement grade 5 or better fastener at any hardware store.
Better yet, just bring the bolt along and match it to one at the store. Pick up a nylock self-locking nut to go along with the bolt and you are done.

Home depot sells grade 8 bolts you can get a set for each side nut and bolt under 10 dollars.Only the top requires special stud,with a shoulder, the bottom is just a nut and bolt I would go with grade 8,very available and cheap.
