Default Lower front sway bar bolt

When installing my lift I cross threaded the bolt.

What size is the bolt?

In case anyone is wondering what the answer to this is for future searches


You will need to order the correct bolt, and nut from your local dealer. Or a lower shock bolt as a replacement, as they are the same.

Information was provided to me by AEV

Or you could get two 7/16"x2.5" clevis pins, 2 hitch pins and 4 washers and make yourself some $6 quick disconnects

I would think the hole on the axle bracket will get elongated from the pin's constant movement in the bracket.

Yeah the 7/16" is a fraction smaller, but it's not going to hurt anything. I've been running this way for years with no issues whatsoever Even if it does wallow out a bit, not going to cause you trouble like a track bar would.
