What size bolt
Well I was in the process of doing my 5" superlift and when I got to the rear I relized that the was no center bolt in the kit and no threads to put it on. What size could I use for a bolt. Will that work or can I get a longer center pin. Thanks

Sounds good. The direction said to take out the bottom leaf and put in the add a leaf. It sits about 1/2 inch low in the rear. So I will be putting that leaf back in

OMG!!! I am on my 2nd add-a-leaf kit... the first one gave no lift at all, and the one I have now has the wrong sized center pin. I didn't think it was that hard to get this kind of thing right... you drill a hole in the middle and supply a 1/2" bolt to hold it in place... HOW HARD IS THAT!?!?!?!? I'm going to scour the local area to see if I can find a set of leaf-center-pins so I can get to school on the road by Monday... I figured the front end (my truck is 2wd) would be the hard part to lift... OH NO!!! The daystar kit went on in a few hours, and the front shocks take about 20 mins each to change (by hand)... one word of advice there... DO NOT BUY HECKTHORNE SHOCKS!!! They're horrible!!! The facotry shocks that were 15 years old rode better than these things. Now I know why "off-road" socks from them were cheaper than the standard truck shocks by gabriel. LOL. And of couse... who do you think makes the add-a-leaf kit I got in.. HECKETHORN!!! OMG... I have done a little more research and I'm tempted to ship it all back to them and go factory direct with skykacker and superlift... they have kits that are the same price range but come with the right hardware, and ALL of it. Sorry Ya'll if I'm sounding a little whiney, but when I order parts for my truck, I expect them TO FIT!!! Just a litle warning to anyone out there trying to lift their 94-02 2dw diesel... STAY AWAY FROM ROUGH COUNTRY PRODUCTS (HECKETHORN)... it's junk!!!
