« on: June 09, 2008, 12:41:13 AM »

was wondering if some one could tell me the size of the bolt that goes through the front of the leaf spring. my car was a /6 3spd car. got the spring buckets on order and he needs to know what size to drill the holes. im not going to be around my car until wendsday, would like to get him an answer sooner than that if at all possible

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I'm getting ready to order the relocation kit from thecarfarm and I need to know what size bolts I have, but the car is 20 miles away.

My car is a 67 Dart originally slant 6 auto.  From what I'm reading it could be either 1/2 or 5/8 inch.  But the post above makes it sound like they were all 5/8 inch.  Help!

i drilled mine 5/8's but thats because i went with "super stock leaf springs". my 68 dart had a smaller bolt for the front hanger but since i changed the springs i had to drill for a bigger size which turned out to be 5/8. so was smaller and now is 5/8. thats just my two cents cant remember the size of the original bolt.

if you absolutely cant frigure out the size get the kit with the smaller bolt hole then just drill them bigger (if you have to) should be no biggie  Dunno
