The ones I got from cruiser brothers (one succeed on failed) appears to be:
3/8-24.head diameter 9/16 total length 4-3/4".
Does that sound correct for Toyota? I was installing the 4 degree Caster shim., thus the extra length.
I'm going to try to source one locally. I already had to wait an extra week on this project because cruiser teq shipped me 1 front and 1 rear bolt instead of a full set... Don't want to wait on reshipping again... Order got split between 2 shops, because cruiser teq had bad data in their shipping calcs.
Will any auto parts store have extended spring bolts in this size? Any 4wd shop? Spring shops only?
I want to avoid redrilling the holes in my springs.
On the one side I completed, center bolt sticks down pretty far, Am I correct in assuming I cut it off like the extended ubolts!?
Oh third question, is there a trick to keeping the bolt from rotating when you torque it? I used vice grips but I kind of galled up the pin part of the head.
This way my, yay half way photo... So much for that.
I intentionally supported top-end cruiser-specific vendors, as I expected to have questions, on this.
The tech support from both places was great, but I'm unimpressed with the quality control, shipping, customer service, etc.
Is this the kind of supplies and shipping problems I should expect from small specialist shops? or am I being unreasonable in expecting fewer problems... I normally just get stuff from amazon or Rock Auto. If there is a problem it's usually because I'm a dumbass and ordered the wrong thing, exactly what I was hoping to avoid here.
Thanks,
