Hello! Was driving home the other day and hit a small chuck hole and bam! Broke the spring mount on the passenger side almost flipping the truck in the process. Good thing I kept her out of the cabbage, with the rubber side down. Anyway, I just ordered a new mount from Tasca Parts and was wondering if it comes with bolts or not? If not, what bolts would I need to mount it to the frame? Should I order a new brake line apparatus that runs through the mount? I don't think it broke since the spring just bent up on one side. Any tips or advice is appreciated... :headbang:

When I've replaced my frame mounted spring brackets I've drilled out the holes to accept 1/2" grade 8 bolts. I think the stock size is 12 mm 10.9 grade, and you could maybe use fine thread 7/16" grade 8 as replacements if you can find them.
Make sure the shank of the bolt is taking the load and not the threads, use washers to take up any slack.
Good luck,

Richard
