front coil arm bolt.

[eduardo95]

I am trying to level my truck since the front sits lower than the rear but the bolt that goes through the arm and coil is too short. I can not find a bolt longer than that in any hardware store or anywhere around my place. Does anyone know where i could get a longer bolt or does anyone have any to sell that came from a 4x4..???

I just purchased a pair of 3/4 x 10" bolts from www.fastenal.com they ran me $37 for the pair of grade 8 bolts and a pair of nuts. the original bolts are only 8" long, which are what i kept finding at the local hardware stores. i used a stack of washers 1-1/2" tall on each side and welded them together. something youll also want to be prepared to adress will be the brake hoses. during normal driving mine were long enough, but once the wheels were at full drop the hoses were too tight.

so how could i fix it that?

you can either drill holes in your coil spring bracket a couple inches below the stock location, or you can buy longer hoses and route them so they wont get bitten by the coil spring or the tire.
