Need Specs On Rear Leaf Springs
 

If anybody out there knows off the top of their head or has some of the bolts layin around by any chance I need the sizes on the rear leaf sring shackle bolts in the worst way as soon as possible.

I'm tryin to order the Poly replacement bushings for my truck and the company that makes them says my truck springs are 2 1/4 inches wide but they are not. They're 3 inch springs with a 3 1/4 shackle width. don't know why mine is different then everybody elses out there cause they say these are for the 2500 and 3500 models. So if I can get them the dimmensions they will find me bushings to fit it. But the only way to do this is to tear the spring pack down unless somebody here has the info handy.

By the way, when this is done i should have a full list of stock numbers for all of the polyeurathane fittings available for these trucks. Between Jeggs, Auto Zone and the manufacturer I have been assembling this list for 2 weeks now and were still workin on it. They just started making the coil spring Isolators as a result of all of this.

In the spring itself, the bolts are 5" long. My springs are 3+" wide as well. As are all the diesels and I believe V10s.

Can you tell me the bolt diameter on them to by any chance. The more specs I can get the better. Bushing outside diameter, hole diameter, bolt shoulder diameter. The more info the closer they will be able to match it up.

I have looked this up in the Manufacturers guide, called the dealer, looked in Alldata and no place gives specifics.

It's just eyeballing under the truck.

I don't have any loose parts. My guess the bolts are metric. If I had some bushing sleeves, I could mic 'em. Just nothing loose. :(

Dave

Thanks Dave. I'm tryin to find my calipers now to try an crawl under there to see what I can get. The bad part is that the shoulder diameter is what I need the most and i can't get to that without pullin it apart. Near as I can tell from the manuals there is no sleeve in these, just the shouldered bolt.

Bubba, are you just after new springs or everything?


Did you see the link from Carrier Spring?:

These guys might be able to help as well:

Wholesale Automotive Springs, Automotive Coil Springs, Auto Leaf Springs

Might be worth making a couple of calls.

I'm just lookin to replace the rubber bushings with Poly bushings when I install these helper springs.

Dennis,

I will have to wait til I get home to measure Lotero's truck. His is a 2000 and has his rock crawler torn appart in my garage so with him not lookin, i will pull one of his bolts out and measure it! LOL

Thanks Chris, your a lifesaver. I got the guy at energy suspensions waitin on my phone call first thing in the morning.

Oh I saw em alrighty, you and Wyatt cost me a lot a money with those links. That's where all these springs came from.:madd:
