Grade 8 Hardware

[kennykenny]

I have a Superlift 4" kit I bought used with no hardware and I'm finally getting around to putting everything together and I have a complete list of hardware needed to assemble everything. Now my question is does anyone know of a good place to buy grade 8 hardware at a decent price? My local Lowes has an awesome hardware section but they sell individual bolts and bags of like 3, 4, or 5 washers/nuts and it can get pricey like that, and also they always seem to be like 1 or 2 short of what I need.

Any help here would be great, I would really like to just get all my hardware in 1 shot so when I dig into this I can blow it out as fast as possible.

Have you looked at supply houses like Fastenal or BoltDepot?

Edit:
Comparing prices BoltDepot looks a lot cheaper.

Thanks, I'm going to price it all out. I was actually on bolt depot earlier and only saw bulk prices so I didn't bother looking too far into it.

In the past I've used FastenAll and Reibes (Napa) Auto parts. Grade 8 is expensive....

I spend $60 in hardware just to bolt on my sliders.

Expensive? I bought 40 1/2"x1.25 UNC bolts, stover lock nuts, and 80 1/2" flats for all the crap i'm doing to my truck right now. It cost me just over 40 bucks?

That seems reasonable. Where did you get them?

I buy all my hardware/consumables through a local industrial supply store.

I think lift kits probably come with grade 5.

I buy that stuff at Rural King. They sell by the pound and dye the fasteners to identify the grade. Just throw whatever you want in a bag--size or item doesn't matter--and they weigh it at the checkout. Buying from Lowes or Menards is expensive. For $40 at Rural King I could buy enough grade 5 fasteners to assemble a whole Ranger.

tractor supply is were i get my nuts and bolts. they sell by the pound

Tractor Supply, I didn't even think about them. Glad I made this thread now.

Tractor supply and Fastenal is where I get most of my fasteners anymore. Of course, it helps that the closest ones to me are both located in the same parking lot. So I start with Tractor supply and if I can't get what I need, then I go over to Fastenal. The one downside to Fastenal is that you almost have to buy in bulk, but that's where I get the stainless stuff I use all the time.

But yea, Tractor Supply is where it's at for grade 8 stuff, it's sold by the pound and it's cheap.

I get my stuff at Ace hardware. Lots to pick from and I can look at what I am buying instead of ordering stuff that you can't see before you buy it.
Why would you buy a used suspension lift?? Somebody elses's problem they sold to you. I would never buy one used.

Hey, no foolin'. For my other car jones, the fit of the most common (cheapest) OEM exhaust is spotty. Best to buy good used . Then you know that it fit once.

BTW I saved the build story on your 36/ Ranger. I'm real interested.

Contact superlift (the mfg) to see if you can buy just the hardware for the lift. Just tell them that you took everything apart for a rebuild.
