Re: Rear U bolt Size ?

That's pretty close. I have some new stock rear ubolts that I measured. The diameter was between 9/16 and 5/8. I think 15mm was the best fit (I was using wrenches to measure [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]).
The spread was between 3 5/8 and 3 3/4.

Re: Rear U bolt Size ?

I'm gonna try 1" for now, I used the forklift at work and raised it 1\2 then 1" and 1 1\2, it doesnt seem like alot but 1" raised it just enough, and I think it looks good and with a little weight in the bed it should still sit decent. Then when I have some time and extra money I will look into lift springs and remove the blocks. This weekend up in north jersey at Englishtown \ Raceway park they are having there anual swap meet and everyone says they have everything you would ever want, I'll be the judge of that [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img] hopefully I can find some wheels and tires, but when I get the rear up I will take some pics and see if you like it. Thanks

Frank
