Sorry, I don't remember. I went to a local bolt supply store and used their bolt gauge right there in the parking lot to get the size. If you have one local they should be able to help you. Get grade 8 bolts.

ahhhh crap...no bolt shopsround here ...any one knows the size id appreciate it .... u think it would tell u in chiltons?

Where are you going to buy the bolts? Most auto part stores and hardware stores have a bolt gauge or caliper they'll let you use if you ask.

After you cut it out, take it with you, and match it up

Lower shock bolts are 1/2" or 13mm

The upper bolts on the strut mount are 5/16"
I used fine thread grade 5 or 8 should be fine

thanx wild i apreciate it ... im gonna do it this weekend if i get a chance...

Does anybody know what i should do if i want to run 31 / 11.5 super swampers on a 90 sidekick 2dr??? i built a 2.5 inch body lift and was thinking about going with the 2" coil spacers but dont know what to do with the front struts..  ??  any body know what kinda struts would work good?? how about  in the rear???  how do i space the strut mount and how much should i with the 2" spacer??

if i put in the 2" coil spacer how much do i need to space the strut mount??? is just flipping it good enuf??

flipping the mount allows you to use the stock struts. the amount of spacer you use depends on how much drop you are comfortable with(cv angles).
i only made 1/2" spacers, but could have gone mabe 1"?.
i recently made a run and am quite pleased, but i crawl.
i have 31x10.5's on 7"rims. i think you'd have to do more beating and cutting than i did to run anything bigger.
try it. make it work. think |removethispart|@ improvements as you go.

 if i went with a 2" spacer how scetchy would it be?? i only want to fit a 31/11.5R15 super swamper  and i have a 2.5" body lift do i even need the 2" spacer or will a 1.5 be good enuf to clear the tires with out cutting?? if i do have to cut any body know what to do for fender flares???

Fire and lots of it. A low oxy tourch and an impct gun works wonders. Make friends with that neighbor who's air compressor keeps you up at night. Over a 6 pack and a strut flip you might become good buddies.

If you want to replace the rear shocks (a good idea by the way)  just grab ahold of the dust sheild with a large set of channle lock pliers.I think Crown Vic shocks work well and give a couple more inches of flex to the rear, but do a search for the year.                                                     NMc

wicked thanks for the ifo you guys   im really looking forward to pulling this lift off i think i might have found a strut spacer kind of thing  it looks like a body lift block that goes ontop of the front struts does anybody know about these :: it looks easy to build....

A quick piece of advice required here.

I have 1.25" coil spacers installed back and front & just installed 31s tires, the space between the body and the wheels at the back is larger than the front, I need a slight lift in the front to even that out and i thought of flipping the strut mounts.

How would that reflect on the lift (approx how many inches )/ handling?
