Rear soa pic request

So what's the size I need.

I just called the dealer and they had it in stock, I never got the P/N off of them.

Sorry bud!

Yeah I did the same trick with the drivers-side front bolt. Stick a saw-zall up there and buzz it in half. For some reason...GM installs the bolt from the inside-out on the assembly line...then installs the fuel tank on top of it. This blocks the bolt and keeps it from any future removal (unless you drop the tank). Install the new bolt in the opposite direction, then you can work on the springs without dropping the tank.

By chance do you know the size of the bolt? I know it's 4.5" long.

When I cut that bolt out I replaced it with a 5/8 bolt that was 4.5" long for a few days... I think it's like an M14 or something though

What was wrong with the 5/8" that you ran it for a few days?

 

[RamRod]

It was slightly smaller then the existing bolt and the OEM bolt was a higher bolt grade

Then 3/4" would be to thick. I just want to be right the first time, if the 5/8" bolt is grade 10 whould you leave it be or you need the OEM size?

You can reuse that bolt

I can't if I cut one to remove the head of the bolt, that's why I need a new one.

 

[RamRod]

If you remove just the gas tank skid there is a dent in the gas tank with enough room to keep from cutting up the bolt (so I am told)

I ordered the 5/8" and going to test then on the rancho leafs. If they don't work I'll TRY and save the bolt.
