Ok. I am in the middle of my RSK install and my Dana 60 swap.
You have to drill out the new shackles to accept a 5/8 bolt for the new SD spring. I have the 5/8 bolts and a drill bit.
You have to also drill out the RSK to accept the larger SD bolt size. It is metric. It appears to me 18mm. Well the hardware stores around me dont have metric grade 8 hardware so I am looking to go SAE. 18mm closest thing in SAE is 11/16. But again, not finding ANY 11/16 no less grade 8. I was thinking about going up to a 3/4 bolt. I would just have to open up the spring bushing a lil bit. But then again, having a hard time finding a 5.5" grade 8 3/4" bolt.
Ford wants $15 PER BOLT and $4 per nut and i wouldnt get them till tuesday. i want to be driving this later today.
So what all have you guys been doing?
HELP
