I picked up all bolts, nuts, and washers like described from NAPA...was like 75 dollars with military discount.
Might be better off heading to a home depot or some other hardware store.

Default shoulder spec

Anybody got a spec for ideal shoulder length for these? I assume the lca and tb points are different...

Good thread...

Going to install a lift this weekend and might as well change all these bolts too. I am also wondering what the shoulder length of these bolts should be. Great catch, great thread. Thank you all for great inputs. I got 20k on my 2010, cant wait to see what it looks like.

Thanks for clarifying! Lol I bought mine with not fully threaded (shouldered) and then read your last post and thought I screwed up! Whew, relief!
